Great Bones, Great Bones, Great Bones — Bring Your Vision! Welcome to 5456 Girard Ave N, a solid one-story home on a corner lot in Brooklyn Center’s Fairhaven Park neighborhood — in the same family since 1967 and ready for its next chapter. This is a fantastic opportunity for a fixer-upper buyer, investor, or anyone who wants to build sweat equity in a home with real structural integrity.
Inside you’ll find hardwood floors, a main-floor primary bedroom with a main-floor full bath, and an eat-in kitchen that flows into the dining area — a functional, easy-to-love layout. The full basement adds 400 finished square feet of additional living space just waiting for updates, plus a second 3/4 bath already in place. A detached 2-car garage and asphalt driveway round out the exterior.
Set on a corner lot with city water and sewer, natural gas heat, and public transit within six blocks, this home offers convenience alongside its old-school charm. Being sold AS-IS, this is a rare chance to put your own stamp on a well-loved property with decades of pride of ownership behind it. Bring your contractor, bring your ideas — this one is ready for someone who can see the potential.
