This East Lake home is being sold as-is and is not move-in ready. The current layout functions as two bedrooms, two bathrooms; the family room opens directly to the kitchen, does not qualify as a separate bedroom. The 2nd bedroom lacks closet and is smaller than typical. Buyers may consider interior reconfiguration, such as adding a wall to create a 3rd bedroom and adding a bed 2 closet to improve bedroom utility, subject to buyer plans, inspections. One bathroom is very small with limited utility. The basement is unfinished with low ceiling height and is not usable living space. Utilities are not active, and buyers should expect to address mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and interior repairs as part of renovation. The property features a large fenced rear yard and gated alley access, offering functional outdoor space and service access. Best suited for cash or renovation-loan buyers. Buyers should verify condition, layout, and suitability prior to making an offer.
