An exceptional head-start awaits savvy investors, contractors, or ambitious buyers seeking rapid equity in a prime corridor. The renovation is nearly complete on this classic 2-story rowhome and is looking for another investor to take on the rest of the project to cross the finish line. Substantial mechanical and structural upgrades are already in place, including drywall, updated mechanical systems, updated PEX/PVC plumbing rough-ins, ceiling electrical wire drops and a private concrete patio enclosed by a tall wooden privacy fence. The open-concept main level showcases new trim, vinyl replacement windows and a focal-point floor-to-ceiling black marble-look tiled fireplace. The second floor hosts 3 sunlit bedrooms and 2 custom full bathrooms featuring full-height black marble subway tile surrounding walk-in shower pans. Downstairs, the partially finished basement features another full bathroom, high black-painted ceilings, closet storage, and dedicated utility space ready to become a rec room, home gym, or bonus area. This property is poised for high-yield rental returns or a lucrative resale flip.
