This two-bedroom home presents an incredible opportunity for investors or DIY enthusiasts looking to build sweat equity in a property being sold strictly as-is. While the interior is ready for a full cosmetic refresh, the property boasts an impressive list of recent high-ticket upgrades that provide a solid foundation for your renovation. The most significant improvement is a brand-new roof installed in January 2026, complemented by a newer heating system, a newer hot water heater, and energy-efficient replacement windows throughout. The main level features a classic layout including a living room, a formal dining room, and a functional galley kitchen. Character abounds with original hardwood floors running through the living spaces, just waiting to be refinished. For additional storage and utility, the home includes a partial unfinished basement with a dedicated laundry and mechanical area. With the major structural and system updates already completed, you can focus your vision on the interior finishes to truly make this home shine.
