Looking for move-in ready? Sorry, this probably isn't the one, BUT that's where your opportunity lies. This spacious 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is livable now, but needs paint, flooring refinishing (it's stable, just not magazine-ready), and continued updates, making it a great fit for a handy buyer or someone ready to build equity along the way, with a bit of sweat equity. Much of the less exciting groundwork has already been tackled, including updated electrical, second-floor laundry, a reinforced crawl space beneath the kitchen and bathroom, addition of main-floor half bath, and a roof replaced in 2019. Hardwood and laminate floors, radiant heat, a 5-stage water filtration system, and a whole-house fan add features that are hard to recreate. Outside, the deep lot extends to the alley with room for a future garage or workshop, established garden beds, and fruit trees. Priced with the work in mind, this is a solid home with plenty of space, character, and potential for someone...
