Property Description
This all-brick property presents a strong opportunity for a savvy investor or handyman looking for their next rehab project. Featuring three bedrooms, one full bathroom, and one half bath, this home offers a functional layout ready for renovation. Built in 1928, the property retains classic character and includes a full basement and a spacious yard, providing additional flexibility for improvements and long-term use. The home is being sold as-is and will require a full rehab due to smoke damage, making it ideal for investors seeking a project with clear value-add potential. Whether your strategy is to renovate and resell or hold as a rental, this property offers a solid foundation to execute your vision. The large yard and brick construction add to its appeal, while the existing layout supports a straightforward renovation plan. Located in an established neighborhood, the property is surrounded by similar homes and ongoing investment activity, supporting long-term upside. This is a great opportunity for those experienced in renovation projects or looking to expand their portfolio with a property that can be transformed through TLC and thoughtful updates.
