Solid brick Cape Cod offering exceptional value and opportunity! This 3-bedroom, 1.5-story home features hardwood floors, a heated enclosed front porch, a full basement with an egress window, and a detached garage. Major mechanical updates include a newer roof, high-efficiency furnace, and central air (approx. 2020), providing a strong foundation for future improvements. The home is currently occupied, and personal belongings are present; buyers are encouraged to focus on the home's layout, structure, and long-term potential rather than contents. Prior photos reflect the home's condition before occupancy and highlight its true possibilities. With over 1,800 sq ft above grade, generous room sizes, and a level lot, this property offers excellent upside for investors or buyers looking to add sweat equity. Located in Galesburg, a historic and affordable community with strong rental demand, Knox College, a regional hospital, Amtrak service, and easy access to major roadways. Priced to sell and ideal for renovation, rental, or owner-occupied improvement. **Property is being sold AS-IS by A.I.F. **
