Phenomenal "Value-add" opportunity in gorgeous and peaceful Lakewood Balmoral Historic District. Situated on lush, 30-foot wide lot and surrounded by million dollar homes, you're invited to take advantage of this unbeatable opportunity to create the home of your dreams! Architectural plans for the planned addition are available to the new lucky owners, but feel free to bring your own plans. This current beauty already has so many added and renovated benefits. On the main level you'll be greeted by an 1890's fireplace mantle/tile bring the wood-burning fireplace back to its glory, restored leaded-glass windows, custom mill-work archways, and refinished hardwoods floors. Upstairs you'll find an amazing new master bath with heated floors and custom tile, custom walk-in closet, new windows, and new wainscoting. Mechanically, enjoy dual-zoned high-efficiency (Unico system) central heat and air (no more radiators), and tankless water heater well-prepared to handle any new bathrooms added. Even with the new 2-car garage and any potential additional rooms added to the home, you'll have plenty of room for a landscaped, completely fenced-in outdoor oasis so close to so much! Right in between the Andersonville and Bryn Mawr shopping and dining districts, you'll also be close to the Redline, grocery stores, gyms, coffee shops, schools, and just a few blocks before you're on Lake Shore Dr heading downtown. Opportunity is knocking, will you answer?
