About 1523 Cornell Ave
This detached Colonial-style home offers a rare opportunity for investors, contractors, or ambitious homeowners looking to build equity through a major renovation. Previously configured as a 4-bedroom, 2 full bath home, the layout was modified by the current owners to create a spacious primary bedroom, resulting in a current 3-bedroom setup. The home was impacted by fire but has been deemed structurally sound through a professional insurance investigation. Inside, the home boasts a phenomenal first-floor layout, featuring a generously sized living room, a formal dining room, and a galley-style kitchen complete with a butler’s pantry—ideal for entertaining and everyday functionality. Additional highlights include an unfinished walk-up attic with potential for additional living space, a full basement with washer and dryer hookups, oil heat, public water, and public sewer. The large, fenced-in yard provides ample space for outdoor enjoyment, and a variance has already been granted for a future garage build—adding even more value to the property. Please Note: This home requires a full rehab due to fire and smoke damage. After-repair value (ARV) is estimated to be upwards of $440,000, offering significant upside for the right buyer. Bring your vision and contractor—this is a rare chance to turn damage into opportunity!
