c.1900 Three Bedroom Affordable Illinois Home $42K
OHU50K Notes $42,000
Here’s a deal for you – a three-bedroom, 1.5-bath, affordable Illinois home for $42,000. The 2,273-sf home offers an attached garage, hardwood floors, tiled fireplace and a basement. I like the shelves next to the clawfoot tub as it provides somewhere to put the shampoo and conditioner. I have two clawfoot tubs with no such convenience. Once a shower extension would be installed on this tub, however, I don’t like the location of the electrical outlet. This home also has public water and sewer.
