Opportunity knocks in Englewood! This large single family home has tons of space and room to expand, huge potential for long-term appreciation with improvements. Whether you choose to live in the home or rent it out, there are so many ways you can win with this one. The bones are here--and some nice updates as well. The basement could be finished or duplexed down for more bedrooms and living space. The kitchen, baths, floors, etc were all renovated in 2015; the yard is large and fenced. Tons of closet space, tall ceilings and lots of light in most rooms. Central air would also be an easy value-add, as the gas furnace and ductwork is already there; you would just need to add the a/c compressor. Washer and dryer already installed, potential for related living (or if you so choose, consider a zoning change request as this also has potential as a two unit building based on its layout if permitted). Don't pass this one up, it's a great value and worth a look in an appreciating area!
