c.1888 Three Bedroom Illinois Fixer Upper $26K
$26,000
This three-bedroom, one-bath Illinois fixer upper has an enclosed front porch, hardwood floors, eat-in kitchen and public water and sewer. I enjoy looking at the vintage stove, vintage lighting fixtures and old linoleum rugs even though the house needs loads of work.
