Built in 1927, this house’s distinctive facade draws the viewer in with its detailed brickwork and lovely arched entry to the home’s large front porch. Visitors will appreciate the large front windows, which allow in plenty of natural light. The spacious living room features a large marble fireplace with bungalow style windows on either side. Much of the fixtures in the kitchen are missing, but the large footprint allows future owners to create their dream space.
Charming details are found throughout the 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home, including arched doorways, built-in shelving, and hexagon tiled bathroom floors. The large backyard, currently covered in asphalt, can be used for parking, basketball games, or barbecues. Located just north of Warren Avenue in the Chandler Park neighborhood, the home is conveniently situated near Corrigan Playground, the Family Aquatic Center, and several bus lines. The home needs extensive rehabilitation and bidders should review the attached pre-sale inspection report for more information. Please note that the purchaser will also be responsible for the current year (2014); property taxes at the time of closing.
Please note that the rehab cost will often cost more than the winning bid price. Failure to bring a property up to code within 6 months will result in forfeiture of property (9 months for historic properties). Auction dates are subject to change. Check the site regularly to be aware of any schedule changes.
