    What's special

    Hardwood floors
    Calling all investors, rehabbers, and flippers ~ this one has a lot to offer. TWO SEPARATE LOTS INCLUDED WITH THIS PROPERTY. 0508400044 & 0508400017 ~ totaling 17,580 SQ ft. North side of the house sits just over the lot line. Great value in the land but house has a lot of potential. 3 bedrooms, 1380 sq ft plus a basement. Hardwood floors. 2nd floor full Bathroom could be easily added. Walking distance to WN High School, the treasured Wheaton Sport Center, and Cosley Zoo. Gary Ave has just gone through a major improvement project. Short distance to downtown Wheaton and the Metra Station. Lots of potential ~ restore it to its original charm for yourself ~ spruce it up for the next buyer ~ or tear it down and build your dream home. Call me to discuss the potential. HVAC (Carrier) installed in '12 ~ Sub panel replaced and 220 v line installed in Sept '13 ~ New Roof Aug/'16. Interior pics were from prior to last tenant. Kitchen has since been removed so if financing will have to be a rehab loan ~ which will loan you the needed amount to buy the property as well as the needed loan to do the rehab to your liking. If you need a lender that is adept with these loans please ask and I will be happy to provide you with some great options.
