This extremely well-maintained house is located in the heart of Carbondale’s historic district at 709 West Elm. It was built in 1941 but has been extensively remodeled and now has two bedrooms and a three-quarter bath upstairs. The large main bedroom overlooks the small but attractive garden and has two large closets, one of which is cedar-lined. Downstairs consists of a study (or third bedroom) with a large walk-in closet and a wall of bookcases; a full bathroom is located next to it. Two adjoining living rooms (one of which was formerly a music room) are separated by a large archway. There is an electric fireplace in the larger, which is entered through a small foyer with a good-sized cloakroom. A nice sized dining room leads into a well equipped kitchen with loads of cupboard space. There is a full basement. Heating and air conditioning units are fairly new.
A concrete slab is outside the back door and could easily be enclosed for a summer patio or a winterized one. The shared driveway leads to an oversized garage. The yard has been well maintained.
This charming family home in the Arbor District is a ten minute walk to Southern Illinois University, the public library, grocery stores and churches.
Price: $105,000
