This distinctive home offers 9 to 11 bedrooms and exceptional flexibility. A main-floor room with a closet could serve as a bedroom, though it is currently considered an office. The updated kitchen features new countertops and flooring, and the entire main floor, including the enclosed front porch, has new flooring. The front room could easily be used as a game or media room, and the living room features a decorative, non-operational fireplace. A washer and dryer could be installed just off the kitchen or kept in the basement. The front portion of the second floor includes several bedrooms and a full bath. The primary suite includes a bedroom, sitting room, and a 3/4 bath tucked around the back corner. The rear half of the home offers many possibilities, including three second-floor bedrooms and three additional lower-level rooms accessible by a back staircase. These lower-level rooms could be used as bedrooms or converted into a second kitchen, a living area, a dining area, or an additional bedroom. Situated on a corner lot, the property offers several views of the Rock River and is just a short walk from Seward's Riverside Park, the boat launch, the walking bridge to Sterling, and the Hennepin Canal trail. The home has two gas furnaces. The owner believes the roof is newer, but no installation date is available. Any required city electrical updates will be completed before closing. Buyers should verify any intended use of the property, including possible conversion to a multi-family unit. There is an attached 2-car covered area. The back half of the property has its own access if the buyer would like to set the home up that way.
