About this home
ATTENTION BUILDERS, DEVELOPERS & INVESTORS: Welcome to 242 Itasca Street! This detached single-family ranch presents an amazing opportunity for the right buyer. It features 1152 SF of above-grade living area consisting of 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living room, formal dining room, and a large sun-filled family room off the kitchen that overlooks a large fenced in backyard and patio. There is also a full, unfinished walkout basement with great ceiling height that can be finished for additional living space. Due to a burst pipe, the kitchen and bathroom have been partially demoed, and the lower portion of sheetrock on some walls has been removed. Aside from that, this is a solid home that has been well cared for by long-term owners. This property may not qualify for conventional financing and is being sold as-is. Check the comparable sales for similar ranches that sold in the last 5 months within a 1/2 mile. The numbers work on this one!
