Turn this vintage house into your dream home! First time on the market in over 70 years! This is a rare chance to own a custom-built (by original owner) 4-bedroom/2-bathroom home with a separate dining room, hardwood floors and plaster walls throughout, sought-after first floor bedroom, and a stone wood-burning fireplace. This home sits on an expansive 10,000+ square foot lot (74.49 x 134.42) and offers endless possibilities for potential homeowners and remodelers. This vast yard is almost a quarter of an acre-perfect for a 3-car garage, a pickleball court, a pool, a hot tub, a kids' playset, or a convenient outdoor kitchen. Newer roof, gutters, and soffits (4 years old), furnace (1 year ago), newer water tank, and updated electrical panel. This rare find is located near schools, parks, shopping, and dining. Also, it is zoned for award winning MAINE SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL. With Harwood Heights' desirable location and limited large-lot inventory, this property is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
