About This Home
Motivated Seller Alert: Charming 1922 Fixer-Upper with Great Bones – Ready for Your Vision!This spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath single-family home (2,928 sq ft) in Metropolis, IL, built in 1922, is a classic 2-story project property with tremendous potential to restore it to its former glory.

Public water and sewer utilities.
Included appliances: Refrigerator and range/oven.
Parking: Other/garage setup (details to confirm).
Flooring mix: Hardwood (original in areas), laminate in kitchen, carpet in master bedroom. What It Needs:
This is a genuine fixer-upper requiring significant work to bring it up to modern standards (full cosmetics, possible updates to plumbing/HVAC, finishing any incomplete areas, and general TLC). No central air conditioning (relies on window units), and some systems/finishes are dated. It's not move-in ready but has solid bones and character that many renovated historic homes in the area lack.Location & Market Context:
Located in Metropolis, IL (Massac County), a small, friendly community. The local real estate market shows average home values around $110,000–$130,000 (with medians varying by source), and fixer-uppers often sell at a discount for investors or DIY enthusiasts. With a motivated seller, this could be an excellent opportunity in a market where inventory includes affordable options and modest price growth.Imagine transforming this grand old home: restoring the hardwood floors to shine, updating the kitchen and baths, adding central air, and showcasing the original woodwork—turning it into a standout property worth far more than the investment!This property is currently off-market (not actively listed on major sites like Zillow), so it's a private opportunity. Contact for details, pricing, showings, or more photos/info.Perfect for flippers, investors, or homeowners looking for a rewarding project in a quiet town. Don't miss out—motivated seller means flexible terms possible!
