Vintage character, modern updates, and a location just steps from SIU! Situated on a cul-de-sac lined with classic brick homes, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath brick home offers 1,344 sq. ft. on the main level plus a full basement with approximately 1,200 sq. ft. of finished space. The freshly painted main level features hardwood floors in the bedrooms and plenty of the original character that makes this home stand out. Downstairs, the finished basement adds incredible versatility with a bathroom, bonus room, built-in bar, and a large laundry/utility room with space that could also function as a kitchenette.
