MOVE-IN READY !!!! Absolute best location, biker paradise, extended University City area, just minutes to center city. This house is in an opportunity zone and qualifies for at least one grant. We priced this very reasonably and below assessed value and below market value for a quick sale. This has had the main roof replaced and insulated a few years ago, brand new bathroom skylight, brand new bedroom insulated ceilings with ceiling fans, and a brand new basic bathroom. We just installed a basic kitchen, brand new laminate floorings and carpet throughout the rest of the house. You can name this anything such as starter home, first time home buyer, handyman special, turn-key rental, or anything else you like. It does not need anything, but it is open to upgrades and improvements if desired. This won't last long.
