Description

Get your creativity turned on and your paint brushes ready! This brick 1-story is ready for your updates and has great features to get you started. Large living room with fireplace, hardwood floors, and arch doorway detail. It's large enough for a formal dining area if you prefer one. Kitchen is a great size, has a walk-in pantry, and is ready for a remodel. You'll love the easy access from the kitchen to the breezeway for extra space and square footage! Guest bedrooms are a good size and have large closets. Basement is finished, but needs work. It features a layout you will love with an extra kitchen with bartop and plenty of room for a game room and family room, plus large storage space and a utility room. Vintage solid wood paneled walls and 3/4 bath also in basement for added convenience. Private backyard with a patio for easy entertaining and a 1-car attached garage. Home is sold as-is, and some personal property/collectibles may stay. Cash or conventional financing only, please.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from September 22, 2025

    "This is a beautiful neighborhood with a lot of diversity. It has character and old fashion appeal. Large homes, duplex and apartments with its originality. The community has survived the worst although the love and spirit of the city is here. Perfectly located in the middle of everything, the smell of Fast Eddies Chicken or fried rice from the Hong Kong house decorates the air. I love it here, it’s safe with the beautiful mixture of people from all walks of life. Like with any city this area has its flaws, yet the flaws is what makes the beauty of it all!"
