Property Description
Unlock the potential of this classic brick bungalow. Owned by the same family since 1968, this solid 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is ready for its next chapter. The property features a full unfinished basement and a spacious unfinished attic, offering exceptional value-add potential. Buyers may wish to explore the idea of converting the attic into one or two additional bedrooms and utilizing the basement for a recreation room, home office, fitness area or other flexible living space, subject to city approvals and applicable building codes of course. This property requires updating and is being sold AS-IS, making it an excellent opportunity for investors, rehabbers, or buyers looking to renovate and build equity. With its classic architecture and strong bones, this property offers the chance to maximize its potential through thoughtful renovation. The pictures will show a LOVED and LIVED in home filled with many personal family items. Remember you're buying the property and not the owner's stuff. All personal items will be removed prior to closing.
