## Description

### Agent Description
Your Historic Riverbend dream home just hit the market! This charming Victorian-style beauty is bursting with character, opportunity, and nearly 1,900 sq. ft. of space to make your own! Featuring 3 spacious bedrooms, 1.5 baths, first-floor laundry, and timeless architectural details you simply can't find in newer homes, this one is full of potential and personality. Located in the highly desirable NFC area, this home may qualify for a $15,000 FORGIVABLE loan program, giving buyers incredible assistance to personalize and build equity faster! Plus, it's part of the Improving Our Neighborhood (ION) Program, offering even more opportunities to invest in this thriving community. Whether you're a first-time buyer, investor, or someone dreaming of restoring a historic gem, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for. Minutes from I-235, downtown, restaurants and only about 10 minutes to Blank Park Zoo, I-80 and the the airport! Historic charm. Prime location. Endless potential. Come see it before someone else falls in love first!
