This Alton gem has the stunning woodwork and architectural bones longing to be restored to its prominence in this historic district. Full of character, featuring original wood floors, custom built-ins, and inviting living spaces. Endless possibilities await to revive a cozy living room with a fireplace, an elegant dining area, and a kitchen with a walk-in pantry and access to a covered back porch. Relax or entertain on the wraparound porch, or retreat to one of five upstairs bedrooms, including a private balcony. Additional attic space offers plenty of storage. Just steps away from Dukes Bakery and moments away from the quaint restaurants, shops and riverfront that make Alton home. The roof, soffit and fascia are new as of 2022. Schedule your appointment to take in all this home has to offer. Sold AS-IS. Seller will do no repairs. Seller will not provide occupancy permit.
