About This Home
This is an excellent flip or great for an end user who doesn't mind doing work but wants a fantastic location! Located on a beautiful street that's quiet and close to everything Highwood has to offer. Two large bedrooms on 2nd floor with a full bath. There are a few updates including a newer furnace and water heater as well as some hardwood floors on the first floor. This home has tremendous potential and is a money maker. The lot is large and features a two car garage with room to add on. Close by is the Metra, restaurants, school and town. Great opportunity to buy and close quickly in time to still sell while the market has light inventory! SOLD AS IS. Photos do not depict current state of home, requires extensive work.
