What a great find at a great price! This 1920 two-story home has the charm of an old home yet features thoughtful amenities that you often don't find in this era: 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms upstairs - one of which is a full ensuite bathroom. Laundry is also located on the second floor. A half bath is just off the main floor. The kitchen is huge - just waiting for someone to make it their own - imagine a remodel that could be better than new construction. The charm of the home is it's front porch with wood floors that flow through the entry and dining room. The 2-car detached garage is oversized as there is additional 10 x 20 space to use for storage or a workshop and a garage door that opens on the back for easy access to the yard. New roof February 2025! Great walkability to a mix of dining, retail, and grocery (Uptown Shopping Center and Shops at Roosevelt). Easy access to I-235.
