About This Home

Opportunity awaits with this spacious 2-3 bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch-style home offering solid construction and plenty of potential. Situated on a full foundation with a partially finished basement, the home features a generous floor plan including a large eat-in kitchen, expansive living room, and separate dining room, providing ample space for comfortable living and entertaining. The property appears to have undergone one or more additions over the years, creating additional living space and functionality. While the home is dated and in need of extensive cosmetic updating, it appears to have good structural integrity and "good bones" for renovation-minded buyers. The roof is at or near the end of its useful life and should be budgeted for replacement. Additional highlights include a detached oversized two-car garage offering excellent storage, workshop space, or parking options. The home's basement contains steel girders commonly associated with modular or manufactured housing construction; however, the residence is permanently situated on a full foundation. Whether you're an investor, contractor, or buyer looking to build equity through improvements, this property presents a rare opportunity to transform a well-built home into something truly special.
