The detached two-car garage and additional off-street parking provide plenty of space for vehicles, hobbies, or extra storage. Conveniently located near downtown Alton, local restaurants, shopping, Olin Park and Piazza Park, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds—a quiet, tucked-away setting without sacrificing convenience. Whether you're looking for your first home, a place to downsize, or simply a home with charm you won't find in new construction, 522 Shelly Avenue is ready to welcome you home. Professional interior photos will be taken on Aug 6 and uploaded as soon as possible! Showings start Aug 10.
