About This Home

Investor delight with serious upside! This spacious home offers four bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, including deck access from the primary bedroom. A full bath and one bedroom are located on the main floor, along with a kitchen that's fully plumbed but currently gutted—ready for your vision. Big deck runs along the south side, and there's paved alley access with off-street parking. Full basement has ~7 ft ceilings, a utility sink with laundry hookups, and potential to finish—though some areas need attention. Wall heat, partial wood siding, and cool vintage details throughout. Bring your tools and imagination!
