Description

More Home, More Value: Updated All-Brick Ranch with Finished Basement in Alton Space, updates, a private backyard, and a location that puts everything within easy reach — this solid all-brick walk-out ranch checks every box for first-time buyers, downsizers, growing families, and investors alike. With 4 bedrooms, 2 fully updated bathrooms, and a finished lower level that opens up a world of possibilities, there is simply more here than most homes at this price point offer. The main level welcomes you with a bright living room, dining area, and a fully updated eat-in kitchen featuring soft-close cabinetry and drawers. Three bedrooms and an updated full bathroom round out the upper floor — a classic, comfortable layout that works for virtually any lifestyle. Head downstairs and the home opens up even further. The finished walk-out lower level adds a large family room, a fourth bedroom, an updated full bathroom, and one of the most versatile spaces you'll find — an oversized laundry and storage room with its own garage-door access. Use it as a workshop, store lawn equipment and seasonal gear, pursue a hobby, or simply enjoy the extra breathing room. New HVAC and water heater (2023) mean the big-ticket mechanical items are already handled. Solar panels help keep monthly energy costs noticeably lower than comparable homes without them — a genuine bonus whether you're stretching a budget or simply appreciate keeping more money in your pocket. A brand-new driveway, wheelchair-accessible front ramp, white vinyl privacy fence (2023), patio, and storage shed make the exterior just as dialed in as the interior. Located in Alton with easy access to River Road, the Mississippi Riverfront, IL-140, IL-143, and the Clark Bridge for a quick hop into the St. Louis metro — you're well-connected without the city price tag. Shopping, dining, schools, and parks are all minutes away. All-brick durability, a finished basement, updated systems, solar savings, and a fenced backyard — this is the kind of well-rounded value that doesn't stay on the market long. Please excuse the boxes — the seller is actively preparing for their move.
