Inside the home
This is a project house with one genuinely rare feature: a large detached double garage with a raised storage platform and covered carport, on a corner lot in Echo Place. That combination is hard to find at this price point and is the main reason buyers will come looking. The house itself is unchanged from the 1960s. The kitchen has original mint green metal cabinets, worn checkerboard vinyl floors, and bold vintage wallpaper. Both bathrooms are equally dated. Hardwood floors run through the living room, main floor bedroom, and both upstairs bedrooms and are in reasonable shape beneath the surface. The basement shows moisture staining and one room has significant wall deterioration — a pre-offer inspection is important. On the positive side, the big-ticket mechanicals have been addressed: AC, electrical panel, and hot water tank are all 2025, furnace 2015, and roof 2016.
