About 15501 Kentucky St

Spacious brick two story 'handy person' special, yet not so unreachable if you have a steady income. This 1500 square foot, 4 bedroom, 2 full bath 'as-is' opportunity on a quiet dead-end street could be ideal for that growing family. Although functional in every way, this home will need updates with your own personal taste. Nothing major, just cosmetic, if you want a house you can live in while renovating and adding your own personalities, until you can proudly call it 'Home'. If you have held down a W2 job for at least two years and love hardwood floors, large bedrooms, walk-in closets, stained glass windows, and ornate ceiling and wall designs from 'yesteryear' then keep Kentucky on your short list, especially if you have or know friends or family willing to help, maybe just until you get approved, could this Land Contract help bridge the gap? The second full bath has already been 'roughed in.' Could this be 'the One'? Or maybe just a high demand rental? Renters pay your note? THIS FUTURE HOME HAS TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL FOR THAT FADING GREAT AMERICAN DREAM!
