AFFORDABLE MURPHYSBORO FIXER-UPPER ? INVESTOR & HANDY-PERSON SPECIAL! Great opportunity for an investor, rehabber, landlord, or handy buyer looking for an affordable property in Murphysboro! Located in a quiet residential area of lovely Murphysboro, Illinois, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home sits on a 50' x 120' lot and offers plenty of potential for the right buyer. The home features a living room, eat-in kitchen, laundry room, and full basement, plus nice exterior siding and plenty of parking accessible from the alley. This is a fixer-upper and is being sold with needed repairs in mind. The roof needs replacement/repair, with leaking on the south side during heavy rains. The electrical system is older and currently has a screw-in fuse panel, so updating the wiring/electrical service should be expected. Several windows are broken and need replacement. This is an as-is property that needs work, but it could be an affordable way to get into the Murphysboro market.
