Finding an affordable home with plenty of space can be difficult, but this Danville, Illinois fixer-upper offers a larger property at a relatively low price. Listed at $24,900 after a $3,000 reduction, the two-story home has about 1,560 square feet of living space and includes four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a living room, family room, kitchen, partial unfinished basement, patio, fenced yard, mature trees, and two parking spaces. The property is being sold “as is,” so buyers should carefully inspect its condition before making a decision.
All four bedrooms are located upstairs, providing a clear separation between sleeping and living areas. The two full bathrooms could make the home practical for a larger household, while the main floor offers several spaces that could be redesigned or updated. The living room, family room, and kitchen provide plenty of room for renovation, although buyers should determine whether the existing plumbing and electrical systems can handle planned improvements.
The partial unfinished basement adds storage potential, but its foundation, moisture levels, drainage, electrical systems, and overall condition should be checked before considering any renovation. Outside, the approximately 6,534-square-foot lot includes a fenced yard, patio, and mature trees. These features could provide a good starting point for landscaping or outdoor improvements, depending on the buyer’s plans.
The home also has natural gas heating, public water, public sewer, and two parking spaces. The listing does not identify a cooling system, so that should be verified. The roof, siding, windows, doors, plumbing, electrical system, and other major components should all be professionally inspected before creating a renovation budget.
At $24,900, the property offers a low entry price, but the purchase cost is only part of the equation. Buyers should carefully estimate repairs, inspections, financing, taxes, insurance, and renovation expenses. For homeowners, investors, or contractors willing to take on a project, the four-bedroom layout and outdoor space could provide plenty of potential—but the home’s true value depends on its current condition and the cost of bringing it up to the buyer’s standards.
