About This Home

As of September 2016

This turn of the century Craftsman is a perfect investment property for someone who is looking for Urban Village zoning. Enhance what's here, add an ADU or convert to a duplex. It's a cute 4 bedroom, 1 bath, project home with loads of potential. The basement can be finished out to add more living space. It's a quick walk to Elizabeth Park. The location is very close to shopping and downtown, and it's just a short commute to get to I-5.
