Property Description
Calling all investors, rehabbers, and house-flipping enthusiasts! Here is an affordable opportunity to bring this diamond in the rough back to life and make it shine for another 100 years. Located in a pleasant, tree-shaded neighborhood close to schools, shopping, and everyday conveniences, this solid home is just waiting for someone with vision and creativity. Much of the home's original character remains, including the original doors, wood trim, and open staircase. While the home needs updating throughout, that is where the opportunity begins. There are plenty of possibilities for reworking the floor plan on both levels, whether you choose to preserve its traditional charm or create a layout better suited for today's lifestyle. The front and rear porches provide additional spaces with plenty of possibilities, while a floored attic, accessed by pull down stairs, offers even more useful space. There is also an unfinished basement, providing additional storage and potential. Outside, a 2 car garage rounds out the property. The location is great, the home is solid, and the possibilities are many. Bring your ideas, roll up your sleeves, and transform this classic home into something special. Whether you are an investor, rehabber, or buyer looking for a project you can truly make your own, this could be the opportunity you have been waiting for. Cash or conventional offers only.
