109 S Pine Street

Located on a well-known corner of Carterville, 109 Pine is a true Colonial landmark dating back to 1896--recognized by anyone who's traveled Main Street or explored Route 66. Set behind an iron fence on nearly an acre of mature trees, the property offers a park-like setting with presence, privacy, and visibility that's hard to replicate. Inside, the home balances historic character with meaningful updates. Original light fixtures, tall windows, and high ceilings fill the living and dining areas with natural light, while wood flooring throughout reinforces the home's craftsmanship and warmth. The layout is open, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with generous room sizes and soaring ceiling heights. Prisms of light dance across the walls and house from matching doors and windows that were imported from France. This is just one detail of many that shows the unparalleled historic character this home offers. The kitchen has been updated and features a copper sink, ample workspace, and an adjacent utility room large enough for a sewing area or additional work table. With six bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the home offers flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. The wraparound front porch invites quiet mornings, while the back deck overlooks the expansive yard. A large basement provides additional space that could be finished to suit your needs. A pool currently on the property could be removed to make room for a garage or carport, adding further versatility. Major systems have been addressed, including a new roof (2017), dual HVAC units, updated plumbing, electrical updates (2012) and a brand new main sewer line. This is a rare chance to own a distinctive, well-known Colonial American Foursquare with enduring structure, quiet elegance, and a peaceful presence--right in the heart of Carterville. It's so uncommon for a home this age to be in such great condition- you truly have to see it in person to appreciate it.
