This home is a definite throw-back to your childhood! Remember Grandma’s vintage pink tile bathroom and matching wallpaper? What about the avocado green kitchen tile and original plain wood cabinetry? For a limited time, you can get all of that and more! This diamond-in-the-rough is ready for you to dust off your toolbelt and restore it back to its glory days. The possibilities are endless! This gem is located steps from downtown and the Lafayette Reservoir and comes with two spacious BRs, a large hall bath, a spacious living room with fireplace, a separate dining room and a kitchen large enough for today’s aspiring Top Chef. Not to be overlooked, this property comes with a private backyard, a two car garage (w/laundry hookups), a covered front porch, an expansive front yard complemented by a deck and lawn area that overlooks the Lafayette hills. Proximate to the top-rated Lafayette schools, BART & Hwy 24.
Excellent location and great opportunity near downtown an the Lafayette Reservoir. Fixer-upper with a potential 3rd bedroom, 2 cars garage and paved driveway.
