Big house, big yard, and a big opportunity in the heart of the Drake neighborhood! This spacious home offers an incredible amount of living space for the price and is move-in ready while still leaving plenty of room for the next owner to add their own style and build equity. The home needs cosmetic updating, but the opportunity is here, especially for a buyer who can take advantage of available Invest DSM homeowner renovation programs and grants. The over-sized yard is a true standout with room for an urban garden, backyard sports, kids' play space, entertaining, or even a future pool. Add a nice-sized garage and you've got a whole lot of house and potential at an attractive price point.
