Location, Location, Location! Incredible College area home in one of Modesto's most sought after neighborhoods located West of the Virginia Corridor. It is nearly impossible to find a property in this price range for the immediate area. The home offers wood floors, cozy fireplace in the living room, granite counters in the kitchen and lots of storage areas. Nicely landscaped front and back with auto sprinklers to keep the yards looking their best. You'll appreciate the central heat/air and newer 50 year Presidential roof too! The garage was converted into a workshop and bonus room with many uses but there is a carport for your parking needs. Owners lived here almost 60 years! Opportunity awaits the buyer who can envision the potential and build their own equity by updating it and giving it new life. Minutes from downtown shopping, schools, public transportation and so much more! This opportunity does not come along often: late 40's charm waiting for all your modern touches
