The story
CARBONDALE ADDRESS-CARTERVILLE SCHOOLS. This is a true farmhouse, sitting on an acre located about as close to Crab Orchard National Wildlife as you can get. It was originally built in 1884, but it has had substantial improvements over the years. There are three bedrooms and two full baths, a Living Room plus a Family Room. The interior has been freshly painted. There is a native stone, wood burning fireplace and a woodburning stove that has been fitted with a gas log. The kitchen has tile floors, a breakfast bar and a walk-in pantry. Outside there is a firepit, two patios, and a covered deck. There is a Crab Orchard Lake boat launch at the end of the lane (permit required). Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge, established in 1947, covers 44,000 acres. It offers fishing, boating, and hunting. You will see Eagles, wild turkeys, ducks and many other waterfowl. You will also see white tailed deer and many other songbirds. This property would make a great family home. a hunting lodge or a vacation escape. Not included in the 1530 sq. ft are a storage/play loft and a partially finished attic storage area.
