Including a 2nd parcel (245 S Crea St), the vacant land adjacent to the house, offering potential for expansion or development. This two-story home, boasting 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, is conveniently located near Millikin University. Offered at a bargain price, this dwelling is suitable for improvement and awaits a buyer with vision. While needing renovation, the original hardwood flooring provides a promising foundation. A new water heater has been installed but still requires connection. Laundry hookups on the upper floor alongside the bedrooms offer convenience. Recent updates include some new Pex plumbing. The brick exterior and front porch contribute to its appeal, and a 1-car detached garage adds practicality. With the right vision and effort, this property holds the promise of becoming a rewarding investment for its new owner.
