August 19, 2025

With that price, the interior surprised me! I am sure this is a very rural location. The house was built in 1843. It is located on .3 acres in Rio, Illinois. The house features some original wood floors, coffered ceilings, baseboards and an enclosed porch. There is a detached garage on the property. Three bedrooms, one bathroom and 1,176 square feet. $59,000
