Property Description
This former school building at 1007 N McLeansboro St in Benton, IL offers an exciting investment opportunity with space, flexibility, and serious potential. Originally Grant School, the property has been partially converted into a residence with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, office, two storage rooms, and an unused classroom. There's also a separate area that could be turned into a two-bedroom apartment—perfect for extra income. The upstairs is mostly untouched, with original classrooms and chalkboards still in place. Although some flooring and ceiling tiles are missing, the space is full of potential. It could be used for apartments, offices, storage units, or creative workspaces—just check with local zoning. The old heaters are still there, but the boiler has been removed. Outside, the building is surrounded on three sides by a large parking lot. A grassy lot to the east is also included. The property sits on one parcel number but was originally divided into ten lots, offering more possibilities for development. Square footage and lot dimensions should be verified by the buyer. This one is priced for a quick sale. Proof of funds or pre-approval is required for showings—reach out today and explore the potential.
