Located at 6637 SE 78th, this sweet, 1928 bungalow has 3 bedrooms/2 baths, 2064 square feet. It’s hard to believe you can get a home with character, style AND updates that make it easy to walk through the door and enjoy IMMEDIATELY. FOR UNDER $240k.  But, it’s TRUE. I am a part owner of this place and my partners and I gave this place a total makeover in 2007. All work was done with permits. So, what did we do? All NEW plumbing inside the house, subway tile bathroom on the main floor, refurbished full bath in the basement. All NEW kitchen including cabinets, counters, milk paint on fir floors, new walls, all fixtures and NEW appliances, including stove, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher. NEW paint inside and out. Many NEW interior doors. NEW carpet in all 3 bedrooms (all bedrooms are above grade with a 4th, non-conforming bedroom in the basement). NEW roof and gutters. Rebuilt covered porches, front and back. NEW fence. Newer furnace and updated electrical. Refinished hardwood floors and refurbished fireplace. NEW sewerline. NEW on-site stormwater management system that earns you clean river rewards. While there is a lot of NEW stuff here, we did our best to retain the vintage character. If you are willing to venture just a little further out, you will be rewarded with the best home available in this price point. This house is a steal at $239,900 – one of the great deals of 2009. This would be an easy and quick closing and it’s still possible (but hurry) to close in time to earn the first-time home buyer’s tax credit. MLS#9078893.
