This American Foursquare brick duplex, built in 1927, features an upper and lower unit. Both units can enjoy the outdoors on their front porch, and the first floor porch also features a beadboard wood ceiling. Inside, the many windows and cove ceilings create a light and airy atmosphere. The brick fireplace with bungalow style windows are an attractive focal point of the living room. In the kitchen much work will be needed, but buyers can likely reuse the existing cabinets. Additionally, the upstairs kitchen has an antique farm sink and drainboard.
The nearly 2,600 square foot house contains 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms between the two units. Purchasers will also enjoy attractive architectural details throughout, including wood trim and arched doorways. The home’s location near Chandler Park’s golf course and Family Aquatic Center, as well as the Warren Conner shopping center, makes it appealing to people of all ages.
The home will require a wide range of repairs and renovations, and bidders should review the attached pre-sale inspection report. Please also note that the purchaser will be responsible for the current year (2014); property taxes at the time of closing on the sale.
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.
