    Cute 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath Bungalow in a quaint Residential Subdivision across the street from SIU. Large laundry room too. Great for parents to buy for the kids to go to school. The current owner sent three children through school and saved a lot of money. The gas fireplace was never used so they are not sure if it works. Nice back yard.
