Property Description

Step back in time with this charming 4-bed, 2-bath Victorian-era home (built 1891) directly across from one of Mattoon's historic city parks-now ready for a full transformation and value-add renovation. This 2,224 sq ft two-story sits on a 7,000 sq ft lot, offering plenty of space to add a garage, create a mother-in-law suite, or design the outdoor layout that best fits your vision. The seller has already completed a full cleanout-trash-out, debris removal, and interior/exterior clearing are done, saving you thousands in upfront labor and allowing your crew to start work immediately. This is a full-renovation project ideal for experienced fix-and-flip investors, BRRRR strategies, or contractors looking for a winter project to transform now and have ready for the prime spring selling season-or keep as a long-term cash-flowing rental. Mattoon is seeing steady growth with the Emerald Acres Sports Connection, new retail, hotels, restaurants, and city improvements driving demand and supporting values in surrounding neighborhoods. Recently renovated homes of similar size and vintage have sold in the $180,000-$210,000 range, offering strong upside for the investor who can see beyond the surface and bring this home back to life. Sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS. Bring your crew, bring your vision, and write the next chapter for this historic home. Opportunities at this price in a growing market don't last.

MY BLOGS

THE FRONT PORCH SWING

Oh, the memories. I remember my girls spending countless hours swinging front to back and side to side, hanging out with the neighborhood kids, splashing with the water hose, or crafting top-secret plans with their imaginations. It was awesome. How times have changed. With my two youngest girls slowly nearing college graduation and my older girls working hard in their careers, the days of simple life are taken over by group texts and long-distance daily check-ins. It's just not the same.

less is more, unless, it's for less.

Each day, I'd get my MLS home showing sheets ready, the electronic key card that opens lock-boxes, get dressed with minutes turning into seconds frantically starring at the time ticking away. All ready but just need to ...find ....one matching sock.
