RENOVATION SPECIAL! ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES AWAIT! Nestled in the heart of Old Town Champaign at the crossroads of Lynn and Charles Streets, this one-of-a-kind historic home offers nearly 2,970 SQ FT of character-rich living space. Now priced to sell, this is a rare opportunity to own a timeless property with exceptional potential. Just three blocks from beautiful Hessel Park and minutes from the UIUC campus, local schools, shopping, dining, and sporting events-this location is truly unbeatable.

The 2-car attached garage, large fenced-in backyard with mature trees, and updated deck over the garage add both functionality and charm. Inside, you'll find an updated kitchen, a bright sunroom/family room with ceramic tile flooring, first-floor laundry, and spacious living areas-ready for your personal touch. While the home does need repairs and renovations, the possibilities are truly endless. Whether you're an investor or a buyer dreaming of restoring a piece of Champaign history, this property offers a chance to build equity and bring your vision to life. Sold in As-Is Condition.
