The story
- Basement
Welcome to 2425 Gillis Street in Alton, a beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home on .49 acres that offers much more than the square footage suggests. Inside you’ll find a recently remodeled and bright open layout with hardwood floors, modern ceiling fans, neutral finishes, and a stylish updated kitchen featuring white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and plenty of workspace. The kitchen opens directly into the living area, creating a comfortable layout that feels open, functional, and easy to enjoy. Both bedrooms offer hardwood flooring and good natural light, while the updated full bathroom and dedicated main-floor laundry area add everyday convenience. The full unfinished walk out basement gives you a huge amount of extra usable space for storage, a workshop, home gym, hobby area, or future possibilities. What really sets this property apart is the land. The adjoining parcel has been combined with the property, creating approximately half an acre of total space. That means a large side yard, extra privacy, mature trees, room for pets, gardening, entertaining, outdoor games, a future detached garage or simply enjoying a larger homesite than you typically find in this area. Additional features include a concrete driveway, rear deck, storage shed, mature landscaping, and solar panels with backup battery that powers the home overnight, saving you money! This home is a great fit for anyone looking for updated finishes, manageable living space, and a surprisingly large yard without the maintenance of a larger home. Come see why 2425 Gillis Street offers more space, more flexibility, and more value than you might expect. Schedule your showing today. Showings to begin on Friday, 10/16/26.
