About this home
Single Family · Built 1905 · Historic
Investor's dream! This spacious four-bedroom, two-bath home offers over 1,500 square feet of potential and is ready for your finishing touches. Much of the heavy lifting is already done-the interior has been fully gutted, all the electrical is done, and drywall is already up in the upstairs level along with a completed master bathroom. Main level master bedroom and full bath. Featuring large, open rooms throughout, this home provides an excellent canvas for customization and value-add. A full unfinished basement offers additional space to expand or use for storage. Whether you're looking to flip, rent, or create your dream home, this property is a fantastic opportunity. Sold as-is. Don't miss out on this blank slate in a promising location!
