Bring your vision to 53 Garfield Street! This well-built 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers good bones, hardwood floors in good condition, and the character of a home built in 1900. With approximately 1,001 square feet of living space, an enclosed porch, and an unfinished basement on a 0.10-acre lot, there is plenty of opportunity to refresh the interior and make it your own. The home needs repairs and updating, including immediate roof replacement due to active leaks and visible interior water damage in two locations. Some active knob-and-tube wiring remains. The existing garage is severely deteriorated, has a large hole in its roof, and may require demolition. Property is being sold AS-IS; seller will make no repairs. An opportunity for buyers prepared to renovate and restore this home’s appeal. Buyers should evaluate property condition and financing suitability before submitting an offer. Come visit us at our OPEN HOUSE - Saturday, October 10th from 10am to 12pm (Noon).
