Listing Description

Welcome home to 240 Herbert St — a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence tucked into one of Alton's welcoming neighborhoods. With approximately 1500 square feet spread across two finished levels, this home delivers character and functionality in equal measure.

Inside, you'll immediately notice the graceful arched doorways that frame the main rooms with timeless appeal. The dining room features gorgeous hardwood floors, creating a warm backdrop for gatherings both casual and formal. In the kitchen, an abundance of cabinetry keeps everything organized, while the full appliance package — including a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher — means you can settle in without spending a dime on appliances.

On the lower level, discover a fully finished space that nearly doubles your usable area. A generous family room pairs with a versatile bonus room, offering endless possibilities — think home office, playroom, guest quarters, or media lounge. A convenient half bath and laundry area complete this level, with the washer and dryer included for added value.

Out back, a large patio sets the stage for outdoor entertaining, morning coffee rituals, and lazy weekend afternoons. The attached one-car garage provides sheltered parking and extra storage.

Practical updates bring peace of mind too, with an HVAC system installed in 2021 keeping comfort consistent through every season. Minutes from dining, shopping, and nearby Milton Park, daily errands and weekend recreation are always within easy reach.
