c.1950 Brick Home For Sale in Cairo, IL $50K

OHU50K NOTES

If you can get past the mess, you will see a mid-century brick home with good bones. The focal point, of course is the stone fireplace, but the property also offers built-ins, lot of windows and natural light, and, once it gets cleaned up, some nice landscaping.

The realtor comments reference “large houses and mini-mansions.” That’s because this house is just off Millionaire’s Row, a magnolia-shaded street with historic mansions that stand as a testament to Cairo’s heydays as a Mississippi River port. Sadly, the city has seen a sharp decline since those days.

REALTOR COMMENTS

Here’s an opportunity for affordable living in this historical Southern Illinois river town. Although the neighborhoods are full of large houses and mini-mansions, this 3 bedroom 1.5 bath single story brick home offers a more modern and utility efficient option if majestic staircases and multi-level houses aren’t conducive to your busy schedule… or knees. You’ll enjoy a spacious living room with eye-catching fireplace, eat-in kitchen, informal dining room, main level laundry, and a full unfinished basement with potential for more living space. Outside you’ll appreciate the depth of the brick paved driveway leading to a detached 2 bay carport, a privacy fenced back yard, and 3 storage sheds. This property is just the right blend of living space and yard chores and could work well for anyone young or old, single or family, busy or retired.
