Character. Location. Opportunity.
Roomy 2 story sitting on a tree-lined lot that backs to mature woods, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Craftsman on Plum Street is the kind of home that draws you in before you even step inside. The front porch alone: wide, welcoming, and made for slow mornings...tells you everything about how this house was built.
Inside, the Craftsman character is intact — the kind of warmth and authenticity that new construction simply can't touch. The full basement adds potential beyond what the square footage suggests, and out back a deck overlooks a wooded yard that offers privacy and a natural backdrop that feels worlds away from the street.
Then there's the location. Walkable to the library and all of Uptown Collinsville: restaurants, shops, community events, this is a neighborhood with genuine walkability and a sense of place that's increasingly hard to find at any price. This home needs cosmetic updating and is priced to reflect it, which is exactly where the opportunity lives. A recently rehabbed comparable just down the street, smaller and with one fewer bath, sold for $160,000. The math on this one is compelling for the buyer willing to put in the work. Cash or conventional financing. Sold as-is. Homes with this much character, in this location, at this price don't stay available long.
