Welcome to this delightful 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home one block away from the Knox College campus. While this home will require some updates and repairs, one outstanding feature of the property is its huge, fenced-in backyard. With a shed for additional storage, this yard is a blank canvas for your outdoor entertainment area and patio designs. The yard has ample space to accommodate even larger-scale gardening aspirations. A paved driveway leads to a spacious 2.5-car garage which offers plenty of room for vehicles, toys, or a workshop. A notable accessibility feature is an extended wheelchair ramp that leads from the driveway to the front door. The basement area has roomy potential for developing a laundry room, a bar area, or a game room. This charming home is ready to be customized - don't miss the opportunity to make it yours!
