Welcome to this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home full of character and opportunity! Featuring hardwood floors throughout and an oversized full bathroom, this home offers a solid foundation for your personal touch. The walk-up attic provides excellent potential for additional living space, home office, or storage. Enjoy peace of mind with major mechanical updates, including a high-efficiency furnace and tankless water heater, along with an 11-year-old roof. The exterior was completely painted in 2024, adding fresh curb appeal, and the covered front porch is perfect for relaxing outdoors. This home needs some TLC but offers tremendous potential for the right buyer to make it their own. Delayed negotiations Monday, May 11th at 4:00 PM.

R-2
Medium-Density Residential District
The R-2 Medium-Density Residential District provides a mix of housing choices. The inclusion of single-family residential, two-family residential and multifamily residential provides a diversity of housing choices while the bulk and density regulations maintain the lower-density scale of the neighborhoods. These residential areas are located proximate to neighborhood-scale shopping and service opportunities. The district requirements are intended to preserve, promote and protect a quality of urban residential living characterized by unobstructed front yards, pedestrian-scale streetscapes and buildings scaled and designed to be compatible with the neighborhood.
