REDUCED! perfect RENOVATION opportunity. Handyman special in fabulous neighborhood! Numerous updates have been started but needs your touches to take it to completion. Incredible master suite with walk in closet, trey ceiling and his and her vanities to name just a few of the features. Most of the home has the original hardwood flooring and its in great condition. Amazing opportunity to build some equity quickly.
