Circa 1928 Handyman Special in Carbondale, IL $48K – Contingent

When the handyman special was built in 1928 it likely had glass front bookcases with columns to separate the living and dining rooms rather than the shelves it has now.  A lot of alterations have been made over the years, not the least the addition plopped on top. If the idea was to make it look like an airplane bungalow, it failed. Still the red siding, wealth of windows, and interior beams are great details to start off a successful rehab.
