This solid brick bungalow known for - durable masonry construction, generous room sizes, and great bones - it's a true diamond in the rough, calling out to investors, contractors, and visionary homeowners ready to bring their creativity to the table. Sold strictly as-is, this home needs a full top-to-bottom renovation, but the opportunity is undeniable to restore its original charm, modernize the layout, and create a stunning residence. Bring your contractor and your imagination - homes with this much upside don't come around often! Cash or renovation-loan buyers preferred. Sold strictly as-is; seller will make no repairs.
