About This Home

As of March 2025

WOW… This is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for! Welcome to 816 Lobelia Ave a double lot in the desirable River Park neighborhood. This charming split-level home needs a little TLC but offers incredible potential! With some fresh paint and minor maintenance, you can restore its full beauty.

On the second level, there are two bedrooms and a full bath. The third level offers a third bedroom plus access to attic storage, which was previously used as a fourth bedroom and could be finished for additional living space.
Outside, enjoy a large fenced-in yard, a spacious patio, and a storage shed. This property needs some TLC and is being sold AS-IS. Don’t miss out—schedule your showing today!
