Property Description
Classic brick Tudor with great bones and tons of potential. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has hardwood floors throughout and a layout that's full of character. The bathroom and windows were updated in 2010, and all the major systems are in solid shape-no issues with the electrical or plumbing. The unfinished basement also includes washer and dryer hook up. The structure is sound and ready for someone with a vision to bring it back to life with fresh cosmetic updates. A little paint, refinishing, and creativity could easily transform this home into something special. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street close to parks, schools, and shopping, this property is ideal for anyone looking to build equity while adding their own style and personal touches.
