Not every home needs to be perfect to have a story worth continuing. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow in historic Cave-in-Rock offers just over 1,000 sq ft and plenty of potential for imagining your own space. Inside you'll find a cozy living space, dining room and kitchen, while a spacious back deck creates a great spot for grilling, gathering or relaxing outdoors. A standout feature is the large detached garage with overhead doors at both ends, offering excellent space for vehicles, boats, outdoor gear, hobbies or a workshop. The home does need repairs and updating, making this an opportunity for an investor, DIY buyer or someone looking for an affordable Southern Illinois getaway they can make their own. And the location is where this little property gets interesting. Enjoy the Ohio River, Cave-in-Rock State Park and easy access to the outdoor recreation of the Shawnee National Forest, including hiking, boating, fishing and some of Southern Illinois' best-known natural attractions. The Cave-in-Rock Ferry also provides a unique connection across the Ohio River to Kentucky and nearby Amish Country. Fix it up. Fill the garage with your toys. Then get out and enjoy everything Southern Illinois has to offer.
