Solid Brick 3-Bedroom Home on a Corner Lot with Great Potential! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath brick home offers a great opportunity for a buyer looking to add the finishing touches without taking on a complete rehab. The home features a full basement, providing additional space and plenty of possibilities. A newer rubberized roof, approximately 2 years old, is an important recent improvement. Situated on a corner lot, the property also features a privacy-fenced backyard for added outdoor space and seclusion. Enjoy a convenient location close to Chicago for an easy commute and within walking distance of Whiting's Whihala Beach on Lake Michigan, offering easy access to the lakefront, recreation, and outdoor activities. The home does need finishing and updating, making it a great option for an owner-occupant looking to build equity or an investor seeking their next project. Property is being sold AS-IS. Seller will make no repairs. Bring your ideas and finish this solid brick home to your own style and specifications. Call agent to arrange showing before this one is gone.
