About This Home

The iconic Gingerbread House at 204 West Main Street, Belleville, IL — the oldest building on West Main and a true piece of local history. This beautifully preserved and thoughtfully renovated property is located in the heart of downtown Belleville, surrounded by restaurants, bars, and shops in a lively, walkable area.

The renovation carefully preserved original architectural features, blending historic charm with modern convenience. The cellar showcases a unique barrel-vaulted brick ceiling — a stunning reminder of the building’s historic character. Recent improvements ensure full compliance with city codes, and zoning has been updated to support mixed-use. Private parking is available on-site. This is a versatile, income-generating property with both historical significance and modern appeal — a rare opportunity for investors or owner-occupants in one of Belleville’s most vibrant districts.
