If you’ve been waiting for a home where a little vision could go a long way, 1411 5th St in Perry might be the one. This Craftsman-style 1.5-story has the kind of character you can’t recreate, starting with a delightful front porch made for morning coffee and watching the world go by. Inside, you’ll find 1,276 sq ft, a large living room, formal dining room, functional kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The spacious main level also offers flexibility to carve out a main-floor bedroom if desired. Downstairs is where opportunity takes over. Foundation Recovery Systems professionally waterproofed the basement in 2022 with a lifetime warranty. It hasn’t been fully put back together, giving the next owner a chance to finish it their way, while two spaces are already functional as bedrooms. A new roof in 2023, 3 new windows and a 2-car detached garage add to the value. Yes, there’s work to do—but that’s exactly why it’s priced where it is. Bring your ideas, add some sweat equity and turn this Perry home into something that’s truly yours.
