About this home

* * PHOTOS are from previous sale. House is empty. * * Lots of potential with this North Broadway residence! Hardwood floors throughout, 5 bedrooms with three levels of living, an office and two full bathrooms. Recent upgrades include a 200 amp electrical service, exterior cedar shingles/painting as well as replacement windows. Great back yard to catch the afternoon sun and the ability for a curb cut for one off street parking spot. This central location allows you to be downtown within minutes, at the beach in a short bike ride or heading out of town without the headache of summer traffic. Lots of potential with this charming home; it just needs that special buyer with a vision!
