For safety reasons the water and gas are off and should not be turned on. Welcome to this very large 5-bedroom 3-bathroom brick bungalow that is in need of your ideas and repair. The large bay window in the front of the home allows for lots of natural light and the classic hardwood floors, rich wood doors and 2 kitchens give you an idea of the home's potential! There is also a large garage which means no need to look for parking spots. This is a great opportunity if you are an investor looking for your next project or a homeowner looking to renovate your dream home. Property is an estate sale and being sold As-Is.
