Description

Step into this beautifully remodeled 2 possible 3 bedroom, 1-bath home that perfectly blends modern updates with everyday comfort. Featuring an attached 2A½-stall garage, this move-in-ready property offers both convenience and space. Current laundry room was originally a bedroom that could be easily converted back by relocating the laundry area.

The bright, updated kitchen boasts abundant cabinet and countertop space--ideal for cooking, hosting, and staying organized. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a dedicated dining area and a cozy living room that create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Upstairs features two generously sized bedrooms, a spacious laundry room, and a fully renovated bathroom designed with today's style in mind.

Enjoy peace of mind with major updates already completed: newer roof, gutters, downspouts, electrical, plumbing, and water heater in 2022; solar panels added in 2023--keeping electric costs impressively low at approximately $15 per month and a brand-new HVAC system installed in December of 2024.

A new garage access door opens to a large, fully fenced backyard--perfect for pets, play, or entertaining guests. Conveniently located near fairgrounds, grocery stores, dining, and shopping, this home offers both comfort and accessibility.

With extensive upgrades and energy-efficient features already in place, this home is truly a must-see. Schedule your showing today!

    "I’ve lived here since 2017 . This is the longest I’ve stayed renting one place . Personally I love my neighbors a the area I’m in . Literally have not had one problem in the 7 years I’ve been here . But all my other homes on the opposite side of town I’ve had all sorts of problems . But my neighborhood is unique bc my neighbors are more like family. We watch out for one another we help one another! "

    "There is a dog park, and it seems as a pretty welcoming place to take your animals. Some places do not seem very fit considering bad sidewalks or unmanaged yards but most of the town is fine!"

    "I have worked in the Marion area when I was younger. I raised 4 children in Marion, three of which graduated from River Valley High School prior to our moving. One has retured to live here again and opperated a Beauty Salon. I loved the area as is was a smaller community, much like the one I was raised in. I recently married and moved away, but hope to return in 5 years when my husband retires !!"
