Investor Special! This perfectly located two-level block home is ready for the right investor with vision. The upstairs features fresh paint, hardwood flooring, two bedrooms, one bath, living room, and kitchen. The space has been partially rehabbed, with cabinets and appliances removed and awaiting the next owner’s custom design. Downstairs is where the true potential lies—729 sq. ft. currently configured as a garage and former film development room. With plumbing and electric already in place, the area can be reimagined as a spacious studio with kitchen and bath, or even converted into additional bedrooms. The property also offers a massive asphalt driveway that easily accommodates four or more vehicles, with room to expand into a half-circle drive if desired. Solid block construction provides durability and peace of mind. This home definitely needs TLC, but for the right buyer, it’s a rare opportunity to create something special in a prime location.
