    Overview

    This offering is a four-unit residential income property featuring one-bedroom, one-bath layouts in each unit. The property is approximately 1,594 square feet on a lot of about 0.1653 acres. Three of the four units are currently occupied by long-term tenants, while one unit is vacant and available for either owner-occupancy or leasing at a new rate.

    The property is located at 612 Mechanic Street in Alton, Illinois, in Madison County. Public remarks indicate the area provides convenient access to shopping and dining for residents.

    For investors or owner-occupants, the current configuration provides the benefit of established tenancy in most units, with the remaining unit ready to be positioned for rental income or personal use. The one-bedroom, one-bath design may appeal to renters seeking efficient, self-contained living while allowing the owner to manage leasing and unit readiness as the vacancy is brought online.
