Description
Welcome to 88-42 78th Avenue in Glendale! This unique single family, bungalow style home is fully detached and has unlimited potential. Upon entering, you're immediately greeted with a spacious living room. This is then followed by an eat in kitchen, a full bathroom and ultimately a huge 18' x 11' master bedroom. Off the kitchen you will find the stairs to access to a fully finished basement. This doubles as a second bedroom or an entirely separate living space since it has private entrance from the side of the house, a full bathroom and a kitchenette/wash room. The property also boasts a detached one car garage and an outdoor backyard space as well as plenty of street parking. Zoning allows for another 684 sqft of buildable space if you wanted to add a second floor. The house does need some work and is being sold "as is." Buyers take advantage of low interest rates and as always we co-broke fairly so brokers don't hesitate to come on down.
