About This Home

Opportunity knocks! Priced to sell, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home near Union Park offers great potential for buyers looking to build equity. Exterior updates are needed, including a new roof, but a major improvement is already in progress with a full sewer replacement scheduled for the second week of May. Located near the revitalization of Birdland Park, this home is close to expanding trails, green space, and updated recreational amenities, adding long-term appeal to the area. Approximately 21 years ago, the home saw over $50,000 in improvements, including updates to the kitchen, windows, siding, and more. The water heater and electrical panel were also updated at that time. Inside, you'll find a 3-season porch leading into a cozy living space, along with an HVAC system that is just 3 years old and a refrigerator replaced in 2025. The basement includes a finished room, shower, and additional storage. This home is a great opportunity to make your own in an established neighborhood close to parks, shopping, and everyday conveniences. Home is being sold AS-IS. All inspections are for buyers knowledge only. Seller will not mitigate for radon. All information obtained from seller and public record.
