SOLID 1950's Cape in need of cosmetic updating throughout. Major items have been completed: Newer roof, furnace, updated electric, replacement windows and seller-owned solar. This home features a massive living room with fire place, original hardwood flooring, eat in kitchen, and generous bedroom sizes. The real potential is in the giant, unfinished attic with space for a main bedroom suite or even 2-3 extra bedrooms (check with the City). The yard is mostly fenced, features a large composite deck and off street parking! Will not pass all types of financing due to extensive exterior peeling paint.
