Have you been wanting to buy a house but the prices are higher than Snoop Dogg? I got you right here... How is under $165k for affordable? And this isn't a little 2 bedroom with 800 square feet for that price..... 3 bedrooms, 1192 square feet (not even counting the basement and attic). Walk in the front door and bam, huge and open living room and dining room. Original wood staircase and columns for that touch of luxury. Beyond that a large kitchen big enough for yet another table if you're into the whole formal/informal dining area thing. Fully stocked with all appliances. Need some fresh air after cookin up some curry? Step right out of the kitchen and onto your porch. Upstairs... three ample sized bedrooms. Very decent sized closets for a home of this era. Good size bathroom up here, tub/shower combo included. Third level.... attic with tons of storage space. Need a 4th bedroom? Great, the access to the attic is from the hallway rather than a bedroom. Legit 4th bedroom possibility up there. Speaking of storage space, the basement is biiiig. 36 feet long by 13 feet wide.Laundry is down there. If you look up you'll notice that the wiring and plumbing are not the old 1920's technology you may be used to seeing in a home this age. We're in the 21st century here at 332 Atlantic Ave people. Updated vinyl windows rather than the original wood single pane while we're on the modern theme. The rear of the basement is also walk out level. Takes you out to the yard which could also double as off street parking (right of way behind the row of homes to access). If you prefer to park out front on the street, that's cool too. You can watch your car from a covered front porch. Who doesn't like people watching from their front porch when living in town?
