Here's your chance to add value in one of Kent's established condo communities. This 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath condo offers 1,576 square feet across two stories, a vaulted living room, an eat-in kitchen with a peninsula and stainless appliances, and a private patio with a privacy fence for outdoor relaxing. Each of the two upstairs bedrooms enjoys its own private full bath — a true dual-primary layout — while the main-floor bedroom has a full bath just across the hall. A two-car attached garage and low-maintenance vinyl exterior round out the package. This home previously served as a rental and is being sold as-is. The owner has already removed the carpet throughout, so subfloors are exposed and ready for new flooring. The property needs repairs and cosmetic updates — a great opportunity to build sweat equity or execute a fix-and-hold/fix-and-flip strategy in a stable, appreciating submarket. (Note: a few photos show virtually staged, AI-generated concepts to illustrate potential finishes — these are not the current condition of the home.) Location: Tucked into the Athens Court subdivision off Olympus Dr, this condo sits directly across the street from a park and is just minutes from downtown Kent's restaurants, shops, and entertainment. It's only about a mile and a half from Kent State University — convenient for anyone connected to campus, whether for work, study, or game days.
