Opportunity for the handy homeowner or an investor! This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home retains much of its century+ woodwork and hardwood floors. The front porch is wide welcoming, A one-car garage is large enough for a small-to-medium car or for storage. It has a man door to the rear fenced yard. Located in a quiet neighborhood a few blocks from the Marietta Memorial Hospital and only two blocks from the Marietta's Muskingum River Park and the waking/biking path, it's close to the downtown but away from the traffic. This home needs a new owner who can see past the neglect and envision what it cold be: a vintage home of 1800+ square feet with a front living room, a front parlor (family room), a very large dining room, an eat-in kitchen. and a powder room A mud room (converted porch) round out the first floor which has a door to the back yard. Upstairs are four bedrooms, one is a suite with a shower, sink and toilet making it the owners' suite. Two other larger bedrooms plus a smaller fourth bedroom. Full bath with tub, sink and toilet. Most closets are usually large for a home of this age. Don't expect to walk in and live here without doing some maintenance repairs (no active leaks, but damage from past leaks), ripping out old carpet, redoing the hardwood floors, painting and probably updating the kitchen and bathrooms. You'll need some electrical and plumbing work repairs to ensure it is safe by today's standards. A metal porch roof needs scrapped, primed and painted. The flashings and gutters will need maintenance as will the yard. If you like a challenge and hard work, this could be your forever home or your next flip . If you want to buy your first home and build sweat equity, call me for a showing. Some attention to the kitchen and bathrooms may be at the top of your list.
