About this home
Single Family · Built 1884 · Historic
Investors take note for this 2 bedroom, 1 bath 2 story home that has steady income. The current tenant loves it here and hopes to stay. Single stall garage in rear. Vinyl exterior siding. Seller also has 823 Glenwood and 2014 Clearview St both in Waterloo would sell all as a package deal. Priced to sell indeed. Fresh paint and floor coverings would really make this one pop!!!!
