Welcome to 5537 Walton St., a 3-bedroom, 1-bath home in the heart of Cobbs Creek. This property presents a great opportunity for investors or handy homeowners looking to add value. The kitchen and bathroom were previously updated, providing a solid foundation, though additional work is needed throughout. Currently configured as a detached home, it offers added privacy and unique potential. The property features forced-air heating, meaning ductwork for central air is already in place; a valuable upgrade for future improvements. Being sold as-is, with cash or rehab loan only. Bring your vision and make this home shine again! Conveniently located near parks, shops, and public transportation.
