About this home
Single Family · Built 1914 · Historic
All the hard work done! Rare find with FOUR bedrooms and THREE bathrooms, two which are en-suite. Great for today's flexible and creative living solutions: multigenerational, rented rooms, or maybe you just don't want to share a bathroom! Move-in ready with a new furnace, new floors throughout, new beautiful stainless appliances, new paint, updated electrical, and many more updates. Giant double lot with subdivision potential. Zoned to add a duplex (buyer to verify)--go from one to three living units for an incredible investment opportunity! Live or rent while developing? Easy commute straight down 38th to i5, plus walking distance to groceries! Plenty of parking and a fenced yard with mature fruit trees. Don't miss this opportunity!
