Property Description

PRICED BELOW MARKET - Investor / Rehab Opportunity in Avalon Park. Solid brick bungalow on a two-parcel offering featuring the main home plus adjacent side parcel providing additional outdoor space and flexibility. Recent improvements include newer furnace, newer water heater, and tuck-pointing updates. Bright sun-filled living room, primary bedroom with walk-in closet, full unfinished basement, and unfinished attic offer excellent expansion and value-add potential. Detached garage is being sold as-is and likely requires repair or replacement - priced accordingly. Ideal for investors, rehabbers, or buyers looking to build equity. Conveniently located near parks, public transportation, shopping, and expressways. Sold strictly as-is. Cash, conventional, and rehab financing welcome.
