About this home

Brick, character, and opportunity come together in this charming 1929 home. Previously used as a rental with a strong rental history, the property is now vacant and ready for its next owner. Inside, abundant natural light and original character create a bright, welcoming foundation, while the home’s needed TLC leaves plenty of room to add value and make it your own. Outside, an adorable front porch, ivy-covered brick, and a generous lot give the property the kind of curb appeal you simply cannot manufacture. Whether you are looking for an investment project or a character-filled home you can improve over time, this one offers tremendous potential at an especially attractive price point.
