Next we head next door to the newest home of the bunch, 1710 W Common. The home that occupied this lot before was lost in a fire and so this 2 bed 2 bath home was built in its place only 11 years ago M/L. There is a large front porch with space for furniture and even a BBQ. This 11-year-old home features an open floor plan and hard surface flooring throughout. The living and dining is large enough to accommodate anyone's furniture needs. The kitchen has been tastefully painted a modern white and black and boasts an abundance of counter space and under cabinet lighting. Each bedroom is a good size and comes with its own bathroom. Finally, we get to what may be the best part about this property. Sitting directly in front of 1710 W Common is over 4,000 sqft of city lot. Only needing a minor conditional use permit (buyer to verify) one could build anything from a new single family home to a duplex. If you opt for the duplex and are still looking to expand, one only needs to look at the empty space under the garage apartment. With some know-how, sweet equity, and just a little imagination, this property could be that big thing you have been looking for. Some pictures have been edited to virtually show what the property could look like should a duplex or 2 small homes be built. Some interior photos contain virtual staging.
