About this home

ATTN: INVESTORS and VISIONARIES!! Home sold "as is", single family ranch in an amazing Galewood location. Re-imagine this 1.5 bath, 3 bedroom property as a 5 bedroom, 3 bath home. (including private main bath) Existing home has been totally cleaned out after long-time owners departed. FULL ARCHITECTURAL PLANS are available that could transform this large ranch, (over 1700 sq. ft. main level, over 1500 sq. ft. in the basement) into an ideal living space. Attached 2.5 garage accesses the home through an existing enclosed breezeway, which could make a fully functional mudroom, as well as allowing additional access to the rear yard. Rear yard is 15' X 125', and a perfect location for a stunning"secret garden", a winding path, patio area, a fire-pit, fountain, and/or play yard set. Mature trees. The basement is large with excellent ceiling height with plenty of room for 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a family room space situated in front of the warmth of a wood burning fireplace.
