Welcome to 217 South Cleveland Avenue – a lovely 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom brick colonial that blends timeless charm with exciting potential. Tucked along a paved walkway, this classic beauty invites you in with its bright living room, where a cozy wood-burning fireplace sets the tone for warm gatherings and relaxed evenings. The easy flow into the formal dining room makes entertaining effortless, and from there, step right onto the rear deck—the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or host a summer BBQ. Underneath the main-level carpeting lies a hidden gem: original hardwood floors just waiting to be revealed and restored to their former glory. The kitchen maintains its vintage charm and offers access to both the unfinished basement and side yard, keeping indoor-outdoor entertaining a breeze. Upstairs, you’ll find hardwood floors throughout and three spacious bedrooms, each with generous closet space.

Storage won’t be an issue here – this home offers a full basement, a floored attic, and a shed with electricity, ideal for a workshop or extra storage. The large, flat backyard is a true blank canvas – think garden, fire pit, play area, or outdoor lounge. A one-car garage and extended driveway provide ample parking. This home is perfect for those seeking a cozy character-filled residence with potential to make it their own. Bring your imagination and vision to transform this character-filled house into your dream home! Don’t wait, schedule your tour today before it’s too late!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
