Beautifully updated brick home on a spacious corner lot along Lafayette Avenue! This well-built 2-bedroom home blends classic character and solid construction with a completely refreshed main level.

The bathroom has also been refreshed with a new toilet, pedestal sink, updated tile around the shower, and shiplap detailing. Additional shiplap in one of the bedrooms adds even more character, while the sunny den/home office just off the kitchen and formal dining room offers a flexible space for working from home, relaxing, or additional storage.

Both main-floor bedrooms are conveniently separated by the full bathroom. The partially finished basement provides even more usable space, including a family room with fireplace, utility area, built-in storage cabinetry, double sink basin, tiled shower, and toilet. There is also space that could potentially be finished or arranged as a third bedroom, office, hobby room, or guest area.

Outside, the home features a newly installed front door, refinished back door, and refreshed landscaping with new decorative rock, creating a clean, low-maintenance foundation ready for your choice of flowers, shrubs, or other landscaping.

The impressive 2.5-car detached garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, storage, or projects and includes two electric garage doors, a floor drain, wall-mounted cabinetry, and a suspended forced-air gas heater.

With its brick exterior, corner lot, extensive interior updates, flexible basement space, oversized garage, and convenient location near downtown Mattoon, this home offers a great combination of charm, functionality, and modern improvements.
