Welcome to one of West Frankfort's most beloved homes - The Historic Christmas House - located right on iconic Candy Cane Lane! I can still recall all of the lights and sounds echoing back from drives through this neighborhood during the holiday season as a child. Just a short walk from the high school and city park, this charming and spacious property offers nearly 2,000 square feet of living space on a beautifully maintained, fully fenced 1+ acre lot. Inside, you'll find 3 comfortable bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and an enormous living room with its own central air and heat - perfect for hosting gatherings year-round. The large sunroom/family room floods with natural light and provides the ideal space for relaxing or entertaining.
