This Tudor-style semi-detached home possesses undeniable charm and character. Located in Manheim Township schools and situated on a mature, tree-lined street in Grandview Heights, it has great bones and awaits for your personal touches. The seller has repaired the plumbing in the second floor bathroom and refinished the ceilings in the living room and kitchen areas. Inside, there is 1589 sq. ft. of living space with hardwood floors throughout, but these floors may need refinishing. The living room features a classic brick fireplace, a focal point that adds warmth and character to the space. There are three bedrooms on the second floor with full bathroom and another spacious bedroom on the third floor. A partially finished basement offers additional living space for a recreational room and another full bathroom ready for updates. The driveway leading to a detached garage offers space for off street parking, but the garage door requires repairing. Enjoy the efficiency of natural gas cooking, heating and water heater. Selling As-Is, so come bring your creative ideas and make it your own!
