$49,900! Looks like a diamond in the rough to me! Has a big yard too. The house was built in 1918. It is located on .79 acre in Benton, Illinois. The house features a wrap around front porch, some wood floors, baseboards, picture rails, stained glass, original millwork and pretty mantels. The listing says it was vacated last fall and there is now a foot of water in the basement. Flood zone X, so don’t think that would be the issue. Maybe pipes burst after they left? Hard to say. Wouldn’t stop me from pursuing it. But it might have damaged the HVAC and hot water heater. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,890 square feet. $49,900

From the Zillow listing:
If you love a classic, this 1918 2 story Victorian home with 4 BR’s and 2 full baths could be your dream home. The home was vacated last fall with the utilities shut off, so there’s currently about a foot of water in the basement, and some damage due to that to the Hvac and hot water heater. Priced to sell as a SHORT SALE, so it could take some time to close. Please read disclosures!
