Property Description
Welcome to the Ninth Ward! A convenient yet classic community, brimming with charm and character from a bygone era, but teeming with modern flare as well as charisma from current social trends. Walking distance to places of worship, educational facilities, parks, a short drive to major highways, the Central Business District of the City and the Riverfront in all its glory, this location is sure to check off all the boxes! This interior, all brick, row home is ready for you to showcase your renovation prowess and bring back the luster of its past. Perched high above the street, creating an intriguing area to make a seating area. Across the threshold you are greeted with a den that leads to a formal living room with brick fireplace. Next up is your dining room for entertaining as the Holidays are on rapid approach. Kitchen for meal prep leads to pantry with access to your fenced in rear yard. An expansive space that could also double with off street parking thanks to common alley between the streets in the back. Lower level has a healthy footprint that could be revised to include a family room and laundry area and has a rear exit. Second floor is host to three sleeping chambers and a full tile bath with the classic finishes still intact. Excellent opportunity to update this home and make it your own, renovate and resell for profit or rent for cash flow. Bring your contractor and your imagination, roll up your sleeves and lets get after it!
