About This Home

1205 James Avenue

Bring your vision and tool belt to this classic 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, offering a fantastic opportunity for investors, flippers, or ambitious DIY enthusiasts. Step inside to find original hardwood flooring stretching across a highly functional main-floor layout, which conveniently houses both bedrooms and a full bathroom. The property also features a full, unfinished basement—perfect for future expansion or ample storage—alongside a low-maintenance aluminum exterior, a single-stall detached garage, and a concrete backyard patio ready for outdoor gatherings. Please note, this home is a true diamond in the rough and is being sold as-is; it currently lacks heat and running water, meaning only cash or conventional financing will qualify. If you are looking for a rewarding project with great bones and the chance to build sweat equity from the ground up, this is the one.
