Exterior work and garage repairs are also needed. Due to the scope of work required, this property is best suited for cash buyers or renovation loans, however all offers will be submitted to the seller for review. Once renovated, this property has strong resale potential within the surrounding Evanston market. Great opportunity to customize finishes and maximize value in a highly desirable area.
