Truly unique home on the southside! The main home has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath with 1st floor laundry and a detached 1 car garage. Oversized almost 1/4 acre lot also has a second "Mother-in-Law" home with basement right behind the home. The main home is updated with new kitchen and bath as well as paint, carpet and roof. The 2nd home in back is a 1 bedroom that has been coated with primer and left as-is. Live in the home while you renovate and use the 2nd residence as an AIRBNB or move in elderly parents to help out. There is a ton of potential here! The 2nd residence is not to be considered in the value of the property, and is being sold in as is condition.
