About this House

What's unique:Whole-house fanFruit treesEstablished garden bedsRadiant heatHardwood and laminate floorsOriginal wood trim
Looking for a project? This home needs work, BUT the roof was replaced in 2019, plumbing and electrical have already been updated, and the foundation is solid. While this spacious 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is livable now, it needs drywall work, paint, flooring refinishing (it's stable, just not magazine-ready), trim, and general finish work. The home has hardwood and laminate floors, some original wood trim, radiant heat, a 5-stage water filtration system, and a whole-house fan. The deep lot extends to the alley with room for a future garage or workshop. There are also established garden beds and fruit trees. Priced with the work in mind, this is a solid home with plenty of space, character, and potential for someone who can't sit still, enjoys projects, and the thrill of seeing your dreams come to fruition.
