Just a great location on the North West side for a 3 bedroom house and 2 car garage! Tons of potential at this price in this area. Fenced back yard for the pups to play and the garage was built in 2004. There is some potential to possibly finish an area in the basement. Hard wood floors on the main floor and some excellent updates added in the bathroom. Awesome potential at this price point for 3 bedrooms, it is very affordable.
