Prime downtown Homewood location! This 2BR/1BA home needs some TLC but it's a great buy for a 1st time buyer who loves a HUGE yard (400ft deep!) & a quick walk to the train or charming shops, bars & restaurants! Great chance for lots of great space in the center of Home Sweet Homewood! Taxes do not reflect homeowners exemption. NOT A SHORT SALE OR FORECLOSURE!
