Property Description
Great opportunity for an investor or handy buyer looking to build equity in a great Norristown community. The current owner purchased the property as an investment and has already completed much of the heavy lifting. The home has been cleaned out, all carpeting removed, the kitchen and bathroom gutted, and major updates have been started. A brand-new roof has been installed, most windows have been replaced, and there have been electrical and plumbing updates. The interior has been freshly painted and most doors have been replaced. What's left is the fun part, finishing the kitchen, bathroom, and flooring to make it your own. Enter through the covered front porch into a spacious living room with original hardwood floors that can easily be refinished. Just beyond is a dining room or family room, depending on your needs, with stairs leading to the second floor. The kitchen area sits in the rear of the home with access to the basement, which includes a toilet and sink, laundry hookups, and Bilco doors to the backyard. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom, and the third floor offers a fourth bedroom or bonus room. With so much of the major work already completed, this property is perfect for someone ready to bring their vision to life. Finish the renovations and enjoy instant equity or add to your investment portfolio.
