    What's special

    Full basementOriginal hardwood floorsAlley accessUpdated plumbingWasher and dryerDining roomRetro bathroom
    2 bedroom 1 bath charming 1923 bungalow in the up and coming Highland Park Neighborhood with original hardwood floors and retro bathroom! This house is perfect for those wanting a home with a vintage vibe or someone wanting to update it and make thier own. This homes Floorplan still has the dining room that could easily be combined with the kitchen (like similar homes in the area). It also has a full basement and attic that can easily be finished off. Comes with a small dishwasher that we put in (not shown on pictures), washer and dryer, stove and refrigerator. It also has centeral air and heat, updated electrical and updated plumbing. It is 792 sq feet sitting on a 6534 sq foot lot. Outside is an oversized detached 1 car garage, big back yard with alley access and the house has aluminum siding. The location can't be beat! It is on a bus line so one of the first streets to get snow removed. Plus super close to colleges, schools, hospitals and downtown. We are in middle of getting it packed up and cleaned, so pictures are from when we bought it. As we get more done I will update the pictures. But since owning the home a dishwasher was added, tile added around the bathtub and most the carpet removed exposing the original hardwood floors in great shape. Priced to sell! Reasonable offers are welcome!
