Loved by the same owner for decades, this classic 1955 South Side home is ready for its next chapter. This home boasts a large kitchen & dining area, open to a spacious living room, providing ample space to entertain friends & family. Throughout the home, you will find original hardwood floors, three bedrooms, a bathroom, and the kind of character that is hard to find today. Outside, you will find an additional 2-car garage with 10 foot doors, and a fully fenced yard for added security and peace of mind. With some updating, this home will truly shine again. Some recent updates include a furnace replacement in 2020 and a new water heater installed in 2025. This is a great opportunity for buyers. If you're looking for space, affordability, and the chance to update a home with your own personal touch, this home is ready for you.
