About This Home
This 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in Allison is full of potential and ready for someone with a little vision to make it shine. The main floor offers a large bedroom, a full bathroom, and a designated laundry room, which is perfect for main-level living. You’ll also find a good-sized kitchen, which opens to a recently replaced deck, ideal for grilling or entertaining outdoors. Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms. One features a door leading to a tar-roof patio, and another includes its own private half bath. The true standout of this property is the impressive detached garage. Insulated and heated, it features three stalls of garage doors, two walkout doors, and plenty of space for vehicles, hobbies, or a workshop. Next to the garage is an additional one-stall shed, perfect for storing mowers, shovels, and tools while keeping the heated garage clutter-free. Outside, enjoy a partially fenced yard and an excellent location, just across the street from the courthouse and only a block from Main Street. While this home could use some love, the layout, garage space, and location make it a great opportunity to create your next home or investment.
