INVESTOR OPPPORTUNITY! Located just north of Hoyt Sherman Place and on the fringe of downtown, home is an absolutely PERFECT Airbnb or full-time rental property (with a current rental certificate already in place) ... or make this your very own story-book home w/timeless character & urban conveniences.
