Property Description

Classic Midtown bungalow on a quiet block in Evergreen with a single car detached garage, and fully fenced back yard. There are plenty of charming features like the large inviting front porch, built in bookcases, original lighting fixtures, and vintage gas range. There are two bedrooms, and a bonus room that works well as an office, third bedroom, or small den - the previous owner used it as her sewing room. As the home has not been updated in over 50 years, there is plenty of opportunity to make it your own. Ideal for an investor looking to renovate and resell, or an owner/occupant who wants to invest some sweat equity.
