This 1950’s style split level was purchased 8 years ago as a diamond in the rough. And now most of the dated paneling has been replaced with painted drywall, the old carpet removed to reveal hardwood floors, bathrooms have been updated and some updating was completed in the kitchen. There are still a few cosmetic upgrades the new owner might consider but there are many features that make this an incredible opportunity to live in an ideal neighborhood location, close to Wilson Schools, major roads and shopping. The two over-sized covered porches extend the living space and the family room, currently repurposed as craft project room with access to the rear covered porch are just a few of those features. The fence in the rear yard was started with a permit but only the fence posts have been installed. One of the electrical upgrades is the hookup for a generator. Another bonus of this home is the inclusion of all appliances including the washer & dryer in the basement and the large shed for storage. Basement pool table & some window air conditioning units will be included in the sale. No showings Sept 2-3 due to a family emergency.

Sweet Equity, Diamond in the rough, a little imagination and elbow grease will make this sweet property shine! This is NOT a short sale or Bank property, seller just wants a sold sign out front. Property also offers not 1, but 2 over-sized covered porches, new furnace and newer roof. Well built, very sound home. Quick possession, possibility of some seller assist and or credit for some of the updating. Don't delay setting up your personal showing or this one will get away!
