Description

Prime opportunity in an up-and-coming location on the near east side! This 2 bed/1 bath home offers exceptional value for the right buyer, whether you're an investor eyeing upside potential or a hands-on buyer ready to bring your vision to life. Just minutes from Atwood's shops, restaurants, and events, with easy access to parks and bike paths ? this is a location that's only getting better. Efficient layout, nice-sized lot, being sold as-is with plenty of room to make it your own. The big shed out back is a standout feature: envision an art studio or creative retreat for an owner-occupant, or an easy value-add for an investor's rental or flip. Yes, this home needs some TLC, but between the bones, the lot, and a location close to everything the near east side has to offer, the upside is real either way. Don't miss this one!
