About This Home

As of August 2025

Excellent brick bungalow on quiet tree lined street in Avondale. 2 beds 1 bath plus another fully bath in the basement. This house has tons of potential to become a much bigger version if you were to finish the attic and/or basement. Plenty of upgrades done in 2015, plumbing, electric, new kitchen. Garage rebuilt in 2016. Bring your ideas to add value and space to this cute bungalow.
