WEEKEND WARRIORS, grab your toolbox & your paint supplies and head on down to this sturdy & darling post-WWII bungalow to secure your future now! She may need a little cosmetic freshening, but it doesn't seem like anything the average DIYer can't handle. The aluminum siding looks to be in good shape. The roof appears to have some age, but seems to be still serviceable, without leaks. The floors are level and solid (original hardwood, in fact, that should shine up nicely!) The basement is dry and ready to finish for a NICE addition of living space, complete with a second full bath (it's fair to say, this bath hasn't been used in while, but the plumbing is there and that's what matters!) The boiler heater may look old, but the mechanicals were rebuilt in 2023, incl gas valve, expansion tank & main control box, so nice moist heat should be flowing from the registers for another umpteen years. The main-floor bathroom is good to go & nicely-sized. And while the kitchen could use some updates, she'll get you through for a while with a good deep clean. What makes a project like this all worthwhile (other than the discounted purchase price & the opportunity for instant equity) is the FUN of finding & preserving the original features, such as crystal doorknobs, solid-wood/raised-panel interior doors, real wood windows, cute built-in shelves & storage cubbies, etc. These craftsman cottages were many in their day, but they are timeless and charming in our day & such a treasure to reinvent for tomorrow. This one happens to sit on a pretty, quiet street, surrounded by well-maintained & renovated bungalows, just 2 minutes from Garfield Park & 1 block from Pleasant Run Trail, making this is a SUPER opportunity for a manageable project with a lot of upside.
