About this House

Skip the pet deposit and the landlord—this 2-bed, 1-bath home on a quiet dead-end street is fresh with new paint and ready to move into today. The quarter-acre lot has a track record as a micro hobby farm, previously home to a flock of chickens, with a fenced yard perfect for dogs, gardening, or your next backyard project. A 1-car detached garage adds workshop or storage space beyond the house, and the basement offers extra room to stash the overflow. Compact and efficient, this one's a smart alternative to renting—build equity instead of paying someone else's mortgage, with outdoor space and flexibility hard to find at this price point.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 86% nearby.
