335 South Spencer Street

There is a distinct rhythm to life in a classic 1940s bungalow, where mornings naturally begin with a quiet cup of coffee on a freshly painted front porch. Set on a generous third-of-an-acre lot in Bethalto, this home balances its historic character with thoughtful, practical updates that make daily living effortless. It is a space designed for those who appreciate the charm of an earlier era but want the clean, refreshed feel of a well-cared-for home. Inside, the layout feels bright and intentional. Every room has been given a fresh breath of life with crisp paint across the walls, ceilings, and trim, complemented by brand-new hardware on every door. The bedrooms offer comfortable retreats with freshly steam-cleaned carpets underfoot, providing a soft landing at the end of the day. With three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the footprint is highly adaptable—ideal for a first-time buyer setting up a guest room and a home office, or a small family needing room to grow. The living space extends outdoors to the back porch, where a newly replaced window frames views of the expansive, level backyard. Shaded by mature, recently trimmed trees, this outdoor area offers plenty of room for summer evening gatherings, gardening, or simply enjoying the quiet surroundings. Downstairs, the full unfinished basement provides a massive blank canvas for storage or a workshop, while a detached garage keeps vehicles and tools out of the elements.
