Beautiful all brick home tucked away in the highly sought after Montgomery Place neighborhood. Two opportunities in one here, first you can secure this great location tucked away in a quiet neighborhood yet minutes away from Millikin University, shopping, restaurants and much more. Secondly, take this beautiful home with plenty of space and a large lot and make it your own. Home is priced to sell because it needs some updating and TLC. So many features to appreciate, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 living spaces and a dining area. Best of all, check out the unique hidden wet bar and dumbwaiter in the home! The walkout basement features a grill room and great patio space for entertaining. Large yard and shed out back allow for extra storage and room to enjoy the outdoors. Home is in a trust and is being sold 'AS-IS'.
