c.1910 Fixer Upper in Carthage Illinois Under $30K ~ Partially Renovated ~ Sold
409 N Washington St, Carthage, IL 62321 $29,500 ~ Sold for $23k
OHU50K NOTES
Partially renovated, this c.1910 fixer upper in Carthage, Illinois, is a real sweetheart. Give it an exterior paint job highlighting the imbricated shingles and sunburst patterns, and this home could really stand out. I especially love the large window in the kitchen and original molding.
The home is just a short walk to Historic Carthage Square where you’ll find the c.1908 Hancock Courthouse, one of the grandest courthouses in the state.
Perhaps the most-visited building in town is the historic Carthage Jail and Visitor Center where Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. and his brother Hyrum Smith were slayed by a mob in 1844. I mention this as the jail is a historical site that many members of the Church of Latter-day Saints visit each year. Our featured home today might make a lovely AirBnB for such visitors.
