Description

This home is ready for a first-time homeowner or investor. It is a very adorable 2-bedroom ranch-style home move in ready. New roof in 2024 and new laminate flooring and painting throughout this home. You will love the covered front porch that faces the east, so it is perfect to drink your morning coffee or nighttime cocktail! As you come inside you will find the living room bright and spacious. The kitchen has an eat-in area with lots of cabinet space. All appliances are included! There are two bedrooms with a Jack & Jill bath. A PLUS to this home is the bonus room, perfect for a home office, toy room, hobby shop, or a 3rd bedroom. The washer and dryer are currently located in the basement, but should you want the laundry on the main floor, there are connections in the bonus room. Downstairs you will find a clean and well-lit unfinished basement. You will love the fenced in backyard that is ready for your finishing landscaping ideas. This home is so close to everything you will love the location...Grocery stores, restaurants, Altoona, shopping and so much more!
