About this House

Calling all INVESTORS and REHABBERS! Seize the opportunity to transform this unique property, already gutted, cleaned and primed for a comprehensive makeover. This hidden gem, nestled near downtown and located next to a vacant lot, offers a blank canvas to create your ideal space while retaining its inherent allure. The original blueprint of the ground floor encompassed a living room, a distinct dining room, and a spacious kitchen along with a sitting area with built-in features which provided a cozy spot for relaxation or reading. The residence also accommodated three bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper floor. An extensive basement, accessible externally, offers ample room for expansion and customization. It harbors the potential to metamorph into extra living quarters, storage, or a leisure zone, all tailored to your liking. A walk-up attic adds the possibility for extra storage or a charming loft conversion. Original features, including moldings, columns, and hardwood floors, lend a touch of historical charm and character to the property. The property's roominess extends to the outdoors, boasting a spacious covered front porch and a generous backyard. Off-street parking is available. Please be advised that room dimensions are approximations. Don't miss this exciting chance to unleash the potential of this REHABBER'S dream. Schedule your viewing today! Please note that the property is SOLD AS IS. NO SURVEY. NO UTILITIES. ENTER WITH CAUTION AND AT YOUR OWN RISK.
