Welcome to 503 W 81st St- a delightful frame ranch home designed with the first-time homebuyer in mind. This residence offers five cozy bedrooms and two baths, ensuring additional living space while maintaining an inviting, manageable footprint. The finished basement enhances the home's versatility, providing an ideal setting for family gatherings, a dedicated workspace, or recreational activities. Updated kitchen with new appliances. The centrally air-conditioned interior promises comfort throughout the seasons, and although there is no garage, the property's enviable location next to a park and a well-regarded school more than compensates. This home presents an excellent opportunity to transition from rental living into a space you can truly call your own!
