This Cottage Style home is located in the tight-knit neighborhood of Elm Street, just a short few blocks from downtown Carbondale, SIU, the Public Library, and Memorial Hospital. A new roof in warm brown shingles will be installed in the next few weeks. 701 W Elm has the charm of a restored century home with modern upgrades. The home features refinished hardwood floors, an updated electrical panel with space for expansion, a new sewer main, and all-electric HVAC. A south-facing sunroom extends outdoors onto a newly constructed 230 sq ft deck that surrounds a heritage Tulip Poplar tree. The basement and crawlspaces have been waterproofed with a full-perimeter French drain, stabilized, and sealed by Woods Basement Systems.
