**New Listing Alert | 1302 Waverly Rd, Collinsville, IL 62234** Ever scroll past a listing and think, "Wait — go back"? This might be that one. I'm excited to share a new property that just hit the market in Collinsville, Illinois, and it checks a lot of boxes for buyers looking for solid value without the inflated price tag. Whether you're a first-time buyer, someone looking for comfortable living, or an investor with an eye for opportunity, this one deserves your attention. Here's what we're working with: **Location: Collinsville, IL — conveniently positioned near shopping, dining, and quick interstate access. This is the kind of neighborhood where you get the perks of proximity without sacrificing a peaceful residential feel. You're close to everything that matters but still come home to a quiet street and a generous yard. **The Home: 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 1,537 square feet of comfortable, functional living space. This isn't a home pretending to be something it's not. It's clean, it's maintained, and it's ready for someone to make it their own. The main level features newer laminate flooring throughout most of the space and an updated kitchen where all appliances stay with the home. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite half bath, and two additional bedrooms sit on the main level as well. The full bathroom offers an accessible tub that could easily be converted to a shower based on your preference. Downstairs, the partially finished basement opens up real potential. Think recreational space, home gym, media room — whatever fits your lifestyle. A new shower stall was just added in 2025, giving the lower level even more functionality. **The Practical Wins: This is where things get interesting for the detail-oriented buyer. The home comes equipped with a whole house generator — a feature most homes in this price range simply don't offer. Add in a newer HVAC system, newer hot water heater, and a water softener, and newer roof/gutters (2025) and you've got a home where the major mechanicals have already been addressed. **The Outdoor Space: Outside you'll find a large, level yard with a patio — perfect for entertaining, gardening, or relaxing outdoors. There's also a two-story shed on the property that provides serious storage or workshop potential. This home isn't trying to wow you with luxury finishes or trendy upgrades. It's offering something arguably more valuable — dependability, smart infrastructure, and a location that works. At this price point in today's market, that combination doesn't come around every day.
