279 Kensington Rd, Vermilion, OH 44089
About this home
ENDLESS SWEAT-EQUITY UPSIDE Walk in, flip the switch, and feel the chill: a BRAND-NEW 2025 Concord furnace and central A/C (just installed, warranty transferable). Original hardwood floors run wall-to-wall through every bedroom and living space—ready for your sander and stain, the bones are gorgeous. Three bedrooms, full bath with classic tile, eat-in kitchen, living room with big front window, and a full unfinished basement. Concrete driveway with room for two or three vehicles, deep backyard shaded by mature trees, quiet tree-lined street eight minutes to Lake Erie beaches. This is the one investors circle and sweat-equity warriors dream about. Priced for instant equity, perfect for a quick cosmetic flip or a full lower-level build-out. New HVAC means zero worry for 10+ years, hardwoods waiting to glow again, and a blank-canvas basement ready for a 4th bedroom, 2nd bath, or monster rec room—whatever you dream up. Just needs some TLC.
