Discover the opportunity to own a charming 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home in our online only auction. This 768 square foot home, built in 1925 on a level .071-acre lot, features a cozy living room and an inviting eat-in kitchen with a unique half door. The master bedroom offers comfortable space, while the two additional bedrooms provide flexible living quarters. Enjoy the convenience of gas baseboard heating, a whole house fan, and window unit cooling. The home has circuit breakers, public water, and public sewer. Outside, you'll find a carport for covered parking, a block garage with room for one car plus storage and work area, a 6 x 11 Cooks portable building with electric, aluminum awnings for added protection, and a fenced yard. The property features walls with paneling over oak underneath, concrete steps at the back of the house, and a concrete sidewalk leading to the garage, Cooks building, and bird bath. Don't miss the vintage ceiling light fixture in the laundry room that adds character to this well-loved home. This home holds a special place in the heart of the seller, who was only the second owner of this property. She loved this home and enjoyed living there, taking pride in the property and the good times she had there. The owner shared that when hanging pictures, she had to drill holes before hammering nails because the walls are that sturdy - a testament to the solid 1925 craftsmanship that you just don't see in modern construction.

This property is perfect for several types of buyers:

First-Time Home Buyers - At 768 square feet with 3 bedrooms, this is an ideal starter home that's manageable in size and cost, perfect for building equity and learning homeownership without being overwhelming.

Empty Nesters or Retirees - The single-level living, manageable size, and low maintenance make this perfect for those looking to downsize while staying in a real neighborhood with character and history.

Investors or Landlords - With public utilities, solid construction, and a great rental location in West Frankfort, this property offers excellent investment potential with steady rental income possibilities.

DIY Enthusiasts and Renovators - The sturdy construction from 1925, combined with oak walls under the paneling, gives renovators an excellent foundation to work with. The vintage elements like the laundry room ceiling light add authentic character that's hard to find.

Young Families Starting Out - Three bedrooms provide room to grow, the fenced yard offers safe outdoor space for children, and the concrete sidewalks to the shed and bird bath create a family-friendly environment. The eat-in kitchen with its unique half door adds charm and functionality for family meals.

This presents a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to create their own memories in this charming West Frankfort residence.
