About this home
Unlock the Potential of This Historic Jackson Gem - A Rare Opportunity with Massive Upside! This is not just a house... it's a blank canvas for the savvy buyer who sees what others miss. Whether you're an investor hunting for cash-flowing multi-family income, a contractor ready to transform a classic into a showpiece, or a buyer who wants the freedom to create their dream single-family home (or an owner-occupied triplex), this property delivers the scale, location, and head start you need. Why This One Stands Out-Already updated electrical and HVAC systems - the expensive, behind-the-walls work is done. You can focus your energy (and budget) on the finishes and layout that will maximize value. Flexible floor plan with room to create an owner's suite plus two additional rental units, a pure multi-family income play, or a grand single-family residence with space for everyone. Solid bones and serious square footage in a convenient location just minutes from downtown Jackson's shopping, dining, plus quick access to major highways for easy commuting. Properties of this size, age, and potential don't come along often at this price point. The heavy lifting on the mechanicals is already handled - now it's your turn to bring the vision, creativity, and finishing touches that will turn this into a high-demand residence or a strong-performing investment. Don't just buy a property... create equity and income. Schedule your private showing today and start envisioning the possibilities

About Under the
Oaks
Under the Oaks, located between Ella Sharp Park and Downtown Jackson, is a residential and historic Jackson neighborhood with tree-canopied streets and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the S. West Avenue and W. Michigan Avenue corridor, where independent storefronts, corner eateries, and civic buildings set a steady, walkable rhythm. Local pillars such as the Michigan Theatre, Jackson Coffee Company, and the Ella Sharp Museum anchor arts, caffeine, and culture close to home. Brick colonials and classic bungalows sit behind deep lawns and mature oaks, giving blocks a quiet, shaded feel. Park paths and museum grounds add green space for daily routines, while downtown venues keep evenings active. The geography reads as park-to-core, with leafy residential streets transitioning into Jackson’s main streetscape.
