Estimated Monthly Mortgage Payment
*Based on Fixed Interest Rate withe a 30 year term, principal and interest only
feels like an oasis in the city already. There is a small lot dedicated to parking. The backyard, with a wooden fence for
privacy, is an entire city lot with access to Forrest Street in the back. The entire first floor was taken to the studs and
built with drywall and electrical components. All 12 foot ceilings have inset lighting. The kitchen has new cabinets,
counter, sink and plumbing. The bathroom is large and beautiful! There are many ways to decide how to use the front
two rooms. The first room off of the kitchen can be a living room, or dining room with the front room as the living
room, or a first floor bedroom with the front room as a foyer leading to the front with the wrap around porch. Or, the
front room can be an office with it's own independent entrance and doors. There are many options. Upstairs are two
carpeted bedrooms and a hallway.The basement has glass block windows with vents and has been waterproofed but
not recently finished. There is a bus stop at the end of the Court and a grocery store directly across the street from
there. This home has an excellent location to Akron's multitude of Hospitals and Universities. It is completely ready to
move in. Perfect location to rent to college students, nurses, Resident doctors that need to be close the ER, anyone
needing easy access to transportation and groceries and healthcare. Veterans may be able to purchase this home with
no money down and seller paid closing costs using a VA loan.
