Renovation is already underway and ready for the final phase. Several key improvements have been completed, giving the next owner a strong head start toward completion. Recent upgrades include all new windows, a new furnace, gas hot water heater, updated electrical panel, and water service connected to the property. All utilities are currently on and functioning. Whether you plan to live in the home, rent it, or flip it, the layout and progress to date provide flexibility to complete the project to your own specifications and add value. The property may be suitable for cash, conventional renovation, FHA 203(k), or VA renovation financing (buyer to verify lender requirements). Renovation is continuing, and photos will be updated as work progresses. Pricing will increase as additional improvements are completed, offering early buyers the opportunity to secure the property at its current stage and price. The Gary area continues to see renewed attention, including ongoing regional discussions regarding the potential relocation of the Chicago Bears, which could further contribute to long-term interest and redevelopment in Northwest Indiana (buyer to verify).
