About This Home
Spacious and income-producing opportunity in Melrose Park! This home is currently configured as a 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom property, but offers multiple layout options to fit your needs. The main home has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (originally a 4/2 — one large bedroom was split and can be easily converted back). There's also an attached 1/1 efficiency with private entrance and interior connecting door, perfect for rental income $1,000/month), a guest suite, or to rejoin the main house for a total of 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. New roof in 2024. Interior needs TLC — kitchen and flooring upgrades will unlock its full potential. Large fenced yard with shed, carport, and plenty of parking. No HOA. Centrally located near major roads, shopping, and schools. Great for investors or extended families
