"It has Good bones" Solidly built 5 Bedroom 2 Bath Ranch home with a 2nd story addition (2 private Bedrooms out of the 5 total Bedrooms). Immediately across the street from the Grade School offering incredible potential. Retiring Owner ran out of energy to complete the remodeling he started. The ROOF IS NEW IN 2024 - a Total tear off replacement on both the house and the garage. There is no basement, however there is plenty of living space through the main floor of the home which offers good room sizes as well. Bring your Hammer and paintbrushes! The home is quite livable in its current condition (less owners stuff) - however expand the second floor if more space is needed or preferred. There is a Sun-Room which extends into the yard just off the 3rd Bedroom. The floored attic has pull down-stairs and extends approx. 50 feet long, w/lighting & insulation too! There are 3 Sliding doors leading to the fenced yard, plus a Fireplace in the Living room, and an abundance of greenery provides privacy or can be easily cut back as well. The oversized detached garage is 18' x 30' long, yet there is plenty of parking on the concrete driveway. Visionaries will see the potential here. An affordable makeover home OR really get serious and expand it to its maximum potential. Opportunities like this don't come along often. Definitely a Jewel waiting for the right Buyer to polish & enjoy. This is a Home worthy of effort, and will be a Dream Home for the fortunate new owner. Maybe 5 or 6 blocks to the train and a little farther for the College. Welcome to Wheaton.
