This solid three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence beckons visionary buyers seeking renovation potential in one of the area's most coveted neighborhoods. The home's enduring brick construction provides an excellent foundation for transformation, while oak floors throughout create warmth and character. A wood-burning fireplace serves as the heart of the living space, complemented by central heating and cooling systems. The two-car garage offers convenience, while abundant storage solutions address practical needs.
