About this home
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.
