About this House

Cute, charming, and full of potential! This 2-bedroom ranch features a 1-car attached garage and a fully fenced, private backyard with a large concrete patio spanning the length of the home, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying your own outdoor space. Inside, you'll find a spacious kitchen with plenty of cabinet storage and a gas range, along with charming original 1960s tile in the bathroom that adds a touch of vintage character. The large dining room was previously a third bedroom and could easily be converted back for buyers needing additional sleeping or office space. The open, unfinished basement offers plenty of room for storage today and endless possibilities for future finished living space. Bring your ideas and make this home truly your own! Recent improvements include a new roof and gutters, and buyers may be able to take advantage of NFC financing and available home improvement grant programs to help make additional updates. A great opportunity to build equity while putting your own personal touches on a home with character, space, and potential!
