Classic 3-bed/1-bth all-brick bungalow with a head start on its transformation into your dream home! This partially completed gut rehab has already tackled many of the big-ticket items, including an updated kitchen and bath, new 200-amp electrical service, some new copper plumbing, new drywall in select areas, a new boiler system, refinished original hardwood floors and more. The spacious main level offers plenty of room to bring your vision to life, with a bright living room featuring tons of natural light, a large dining room that opens to the brand-new kitchen with a convenient combo washer/dryer, 3 bedrooms, a full bath and a sunroom. The unfinished attic, accessible by an interior staircase, offers exciting potential for a private primary suite, while the expansive unfinished basement provides excellent storage space or the opportunity to add even more living area. Outside, the beautiful brick exterior, welcoming front porch and gated front yard provide great curb appeal. The backyard features a 2-car parking pad with convenient alley access. Ideally located near major highways, public transportation, grocery stores and everyday conveniences. A great opportunity to take a partially completed renovation and make it truly your own!
