Don't blink...or it will be sold!! Solid and sturdy 4 or 5 bdrm/1.5 bath home with large covered concrete front porch and big concrete wrap around patio off the side and back of the house sits on a quiet street just one block off Rt 24. There are currently 2 bdrms on the main level, but one could be a den/office with an additional 3 bdrms upstairs, plus an attic space storage room accessible from a small door in the upstairs hallway. This home offers hardwood floors through most of the main level, original woodwork, a nice sized living room open to the dining room and a main floor laundry room and bath. There's also a working toilet and fixable shower in the basement. A radon mitigation system is already in place. The current owners have never used the original fireplace in the living room. 1 car detached garage with new roof off the alleyway and a separate storage shed. The roof, windows, Trane furnace, central A/C and water heater are about 20 years old. This home just needs a little TLC to restore it to it's former glory. Home is being sold in "as is" condition. Cash or conventional loan only.
