About this home
Single Family · Built 1905 · Historic
This centrally located fixer-upper is full of potential and ideal for investors or homeowners looking to add value. Located just minutes from downtown, all local schools, and the desirable Suncrest area, this property offers convenience and opportunity. Currently a 5 bed, 2 bath home, it has the layout to be converted into two separate units: a 4 bed, 1 bath and a 1 bed, 1 bath — live in one and rent out the other for additional income. Hard wood floors run throughout the home and could be brought back to life with refinishing. Don’t miss the chance to turn this diamond in the rough into a true gem!
