Opportunity is knocking on James Ave N! Priced at $175,000, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home sits on a full basement with a 2-car garage — a solid foundation for building equity in a neighborhood that's steadily on the rise. Hardwood floors run through the main level, and key mechanicals (furnace, A/C, and water heater) were all updated between 2015-2017, giving you a head start on the big-ticket items. Sold As-Is, this is a great fit for a buyer ready to add sweat equity or an investor looking for their next project. Minutes to Webber Park, Creekview Park, North Mississippi Regional Park's river trails, and the Lowry Ave dining corridor. Bring your vision — this one's ready to work for you.
