This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home in Wilkes-Barre offers a fantastic opportunity for those looking to put their personal touch on a property. Situated in a quiet neighborhood, the home features a classic layout with spacious rooms, but it's in need of some TLC. The living and dining areas are filled with potential, waiting for the right owner to refresh the space with modern updates. The kitchen offers a solid foundation, though it could benefit from a full remodel to bring it into the 21st century. The three bedrooms provide ample space but may require some cosmetic updates to restore their charm. The bathroom, while functional, is due for an overhaul to meet today's standards. With a little creativity and effort, this house could be transformed into a cozy home in a great location, just minutes from local amenities, parks, and schools. Ideal for investors or DIY enthusiasts looking for a project!
