Realtor Comments
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.
