About

Tucked back among the trees, this charming bungalow feels like a peaceful retreat while still being just minutes from everything Alton has to offer. If you've been searching for a home with character, privacy, and a setting that's hard to find at this price point, this one is worth a look. Inside, you'll find a welcoming living room with beautiful original built-ins, touches of exposed brick that add warmth and personality, and an easy, comfortable layout that feels like home from the moment you walk in. The wraparound porch is the perfect spot for your morning coffee or winding down in the evening, surrounded by mature trees and a backyard that offers a surprising amount of privacy. The detached two-car garage and additional off-street parking provide plenty of space for vehicles, hobbies, or extra storage. Conveniently located near downtown Alton, local restaurants, shopping, Olin Park and Piazza Park, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds—a quiet, tucked-away setting without sacrificing convenience. Whether you're looking for your first home, a place to downsize, or simply a home with charm you won't find in new construction, 522 Shelly Avenue is ready to welcome you home.

Historic Kauffold House (?) is back in black! This 3/4-completed masterpiece is a must-see for anyone with a vision. Lots of square footage waiting for you to add your own personal finishing touches. The rooms are large with high ceilings, and many have original hardwood floors in decent shape. The main floor features a primary bedroom and bathroom, laundry, kitchen, formal dining, office, powder room, and living room. Second floor: 2 true bedrooms, 3 pass-through rooms to be what you want, 1 full bath and 1/2 bath.  
The original home is probably older than tax records reflect, evidenced by the solid stone foundation. At some point in time, a large addition was constructed with a poured concrete foundation and high-ceilinged basement. It's nice and appears dry and of quality workmanship. The windows, most plumbing, and electrical service are modern. Huge 1.5+/- lot mostly fenced, with a two car detached garage, right in the heart of Pie Town. This is going to be someone's jewel. Not a drive by.
