***Back on the Market*** Buyers financing fell through and the home is back on the market with a new roof on the home and garage. Currently vacant and easy to show. Located in the desirable North Highland neighborhood, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a great opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors. The finished basement adds valuable living space with two bonus rooms, a rec room, and an office or flex space. A walk-up attic provides ample storage options. Off the alley, you’ll find a one-car garage plus an additional storage shed. "Agent Owned"
