Located in the heart of Auburn Gresham, this expansive side entrance bungalow offers amazing potential with an expansive floor plan and tremendous upside for a buyer with vision! The home was in the midst of renovations that were not finishes, interior of the home has been framed out, all that is needed is to come in and finish the canvas which has been laid! The current footprint has two bedrooms on the main level with an additional two bedrooms on the second level. The plumbing and layout for a bathroom on each level has been laid out as well, off the kitchen is a family room area in addition to the formal dining room which has also been roughed out. The basement has been framed out as well and offers high ceilings with plumbing for what could be a third bathroom. The home is on a dead end street, close to Ashland and Damen Ave! You do not find projects such as this waiting to be renovated and brought back to life, there is tremendous upside here that you will not want to pass on!
