192 2nd Ave E

New to the market? Trying to get your foot in the door of home ownership? Are you willing to put a little work into a place to make it your own? If so, maybe this is the starting point for you. This one-bedroom bungalow has good bones to work with. Already taken care of for you, the kitchen with appliances; the furnace, hot water heater and central air are owned and were replaced a little over 8 years ago and the roof shingles appear to be good. There is a cute closed in front porch and a solid deck with a piped in Natural Gas BBQ in the back. Yard is fenced and has a little shed. Build some sweat equity by painting the place, refinishing the hardwood floors, laying some luxury vinyl flooring, and swapping out some light fixtures. The basement will be an ongoing project for someone to finish that will eventually add to the living space. I remember when I purchased my first home, also located in this central part of town, a small bungalow without a basement. My father said “you don’t get a spiral staircase in your first home”. I believe his wisdom was, “you need to start somewhere”. This home on Second Ave is a good start. It offers you the chance to build some equity, while getting into the market at a lower price. It is close to all amenities, the best coffee in the city, the bike path, the waterfront and downtown restaurants. The seller is entertaining offers anytime. Take a look, maybe Second Ave is your first home purchase. (id:22211)
