About This Home

Perfect investment opportunity in the Highland Park neighborhood—an area undergoing major revitalization with new shops, restaurants, and redevelopment happening all around. This 3 bed, 1 bath home offers 1,229 sq ft on the main level plus a partially finished basement with potential to add a non-conforming 4th bedroom. With a brand-new roof in 2025, most of the heavy lifting is already done. Kitchen cabinets are installed, framing is in place, and the layout is ideal for a flip or long-term rental. Plenty of upside for an investor ready to finish with their own touches and maximize ARV or rental income. Don't miss the chance to build value and tap into the strong rental and resale market in this area. Lots of potential—make it yours!
