Great opportunity in the historic Emerson Heights neighborhood. Major work has been completed: new roof, siding and windows in 2008, new furnace and central air in 2015 (and covered by manufacturers warranty until 9/29/2020),new water line from street, and plumbing redone with PEX. Bath has newer vanity/sink and tub/shower combo. With some TLC and elbow grease the original hardwood floors and plaster walls have so much potential. Bonus room upstairs has fixtures for a bathroom to be added and will remain with the property.
