Don't miss this 2 bedroom, 1 bath story and a half home in the heart of Waveland Park! With a new A/C, newer roof, original hardwood floors, a cozy screened-in porch, and a fenced backyard, this home already has a strong foundation of value and comfort. A bonus upstairs space is ready to be used however you'd like-perfect for a third bedroom, office, studio, or extra storage. The full basement offers even more potential with a finished family room and plenty of room for storage.
While the home could use a few cosmetic updates, the layout, location, and improvements make it an excellent opportunity for buyers ready to put in some work and build equity. This home is also located in an NFC area and is priced below assessed value. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street near parks, schools, restaurants and a loved local ice cream shop, this home is a great choice. Schedule your showing today!
