Property Description
Enjoy peaceful living on a quiet dead-end street in North Alton! This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers comfortable living spaces, thoughtful updates, and a backyard that feels like your own private retreat.

A new sliding glass door provides easy access to the beautifully shaded backyard, complete with privacy fencing, a covered deck, and mature trees—an ideal spot for morning coffee, summer gatherings, or simply relaxing outdoors. Additional updates include a new electric panel and two new sump pumps in the basement. Solar panels installed in 2023 add energy-efficient benefits and come with a transferable full warranty covering both the panels and the roof. The solar lease payment is $133/month.
