About this home

A diamond in the rough! Delightful cottage makes an ideal investment especially given the opportunity to add 150+ square feet by changing the garage into heated/cooled space. Original hardwood floors, windows, crystal door hardware, large floored attic (potential upward expansion), original tiled bath. There is a wood-burning fireplace in the living room as well. House is originally wood-sided with vinyl covering it and the old metal bars from decades ago still on windows and doors. This home has a large outdoor area which starts with a screened porch off the dining room, two sheds (as-is condition) for storage and plant potting, and a large yard (68'*100') by downtown standards. Wonderful attached garage, which is a rare find downtown or this offers possibilities for house expansion. Kitchen has wood cabinets freshly painted white and all appliances do convey including a brand new stove. House is fenced front and back. House has been well maintained but never fully updated. Wonderful starter home in the heart of Wagener Terrace. This house is liveable but with so many upgrade and expansion opportunities which make it a unique purchase choice. Corrine Jones Playground is just a block away with tennis courts, basketball courts, and an open park.
