A diamond in the rough awaits a smart savvy buyer who has vision to transform existing space into today's contemporary gem. This home was extensively renovated in the early 1990's. A classic solid brick rambler had the roof raised, the footprint expanded, and a brand-new contemporary style second story added. Over 3,000+ sq. feet of finished space on three finished levels. Soaring second floor hallway and master bedroom ceiling with clerestory windows that flood the upstairs with light. Open floor plan on main level with circular flow. Main floor features a living room with fireplace, small nook area, dining room, eat-in kitchen, half-bath and family room with built-ins and dramatic staircase to second floor. Anderson windows throughout. Upper level features dramatic two story hallway, two large bedrooms, hall bath, and large master suite with walk-in closet and ceramic tiled bath. Basement features a recreation room, oce with adjoining bath, and utility room. Yes it needs some work and lovin' but the potential abounds at a great price!
