Located in the heart of Du Quoin, Illinois, 322 W Cole Street offers a rare opportunity to own a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on not one — but two separate lots. Originally two parcels combined into one large property, the lots have since been re-divided, meaning the buyer walks away with both. That kind of land value is hard to come by, especially at this price point in southern Illinois. Du Quoin sits in Perry County, roughly 60 miles southeast of St. Louis, and is well known throughout the region for its small-town character and the famous Du Quoin State Fair. The community offers a slower pace of life without sacrificing access to larger metros, making it an appealing option for buyers looking to put down roots in a quiet, established neighborhood. The property features a huge yard — a genuine standout feature that gives buyers plenty of room for outdoor living, gardening, storage, or future use of the second lot. One of the most significant recent investments in the home is a brand-new roof, representing over $10,000 in completed work. There are some minor water stains on the ceiling near the front entrance from a previous roof leak, but with the roof fully replaced, that chapter is closed. Electricity is confirmed active on the property. The monthly payment of $1,200 includes taxes and insurance (PITI), so what you see is what you budget for — no surprises from escrow at year-end. With just $3,000 down and owner financing available, this is an accessible path to homeownership in a community with genuine long-term value. No traditional bank loan required. ---
