About this home
Motivated Seller Alert: Charming 1922 Fixer-Upper with Great Bones – Ready for Your Vision!This spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath single-family home (2,928 sq ft) in Metropolis, IL, built in 1922, is a classic 2-story project property with tremendous potential to restore it to its former glory. It's a true diamond in the rough—offering original character combined with some modern updates, perfect for someone with renovation skills or vision who wants to create a stunning family home.Key Highlights & Updates:Newer metal roof — excellent for longevity and low maintenance.

Some new windows on the main floor for improved energy efficiency and light.
Original hardwood flooring and beautiful woodwork throughout — features that add timeless charm and value once refinished.
Gas heating (with some window unit cooling).
Ceiling fans for added comfort.
Gas log fireplace — cozy focal point (though condition may need checking).
Vinyl siding exterior with a welcoming porch.
Corner lot (approx. 8,999 sq ft) — offers extra space, great curb appeal potential, and possibly room for outdoor improvements.
Public water and sewer utilities.

What It Needs:
This is a genuine fixer-upper requiring significant work to bring it up to modern standards (full cosmetics, possible updates to plumbing/HVAC, finishing any incomplete areas, and general TLC). No central air conditioning (relies on window units), and some systems/finishes are dated. It's not move-in ready but has solid bones and character that many renovated historic homes in the area lack.Location & Market Context:
Located in Metropolis, IL (Massac County), a small, friendly community. The local real estate market shows average home values around $110,000–$130,000 (with medians varying by source), and fixer-uppers often sell at a discount for investors or DIY enthusiasts. With a motivated seller, this could be an excellent opportunity in a market where inventory includes affordable options and modest price growth.Imagine transforming this grand old home: restoring the hardwood floors to shine, updating the kitchen and baths, adding central air, and showcasing the original woodwork—turning it into a standout property worth far more than the investment!This property is currently off-market (not actively listed on major sites like Zillow), so it's a private opportunity. Contact for details, pricing, showings, or more photos/info.Perfect for flippers, investors, or homeowners looking for a rewarding project in a quiet town. Don't miss out—motivated seller means flexible terms possible!...
