    What's special

    BEAUTIFUL, all brick home located in the Historic Middletown District of Alton!! Great area for dining, shopping and close to the Alton Belle. To speak of some of the updates, there has been a newer roof, 44 windows replaced, tuck pointing and brick cleaned as well. Currently a 1 family home, but could easily be transformed into a 3 home, residential rental property. Exceptional period walnut staircases are a must see within the home and the house is equipped with both 1st and 2nd floor laundry to accommodate your needs. Addresses 539 & 541 are both included in this parcel, with a little bit of a bigger need for tender love and care to the 539 space. Formerly owned by the famous Francis Honore "Frank" (Captain) Tesson. Ask your agent for a list of all the updated items. Sold as-is. Seller will not provide for occupancy. Buyer/Buyer's agent should independently verify all MARIS information, which is derived from various sources and not warranted as accurate.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
