Property Description
An original Milwood Neighborhood home! If you are an investor, a renter with resources to improve the home while renting elsewhere, or ready to be a homeowner with a vision, this home is a great opportunity! The roof was replaced in 2001. Furnace, central air conditioning unit, and humidifier were updated in 2015. The home has vintage light fixtures, coved ceiling in the living room, hardwood floors, laundry chutes on both floors, built-ins including hall linen closet, upstairs bedroom dresser, upstairs bonus room bookshelves; and a vintage central vacuum. This all adds to the charm of the home. The home does need some investment put into it, but it has great potential!
