Description

This home has been a solid rental property for many years and offers plenty of potential for an investor or buyer looking for an affordable home to make their own. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a full basement, and a 1-car garage, there’s a lot to work with here. And if mowing isn’t your favorite weekend activity, you’re in luck—there’s almost no yard to mow! Just a little bitty front and side yard to keep things simple. The home needs a little love after the last tenant, but it has good, solid bones...This home has been a solid rental property for many years and offers plenty of potential for an investor or buyer looking for an affordable home to make their own. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a full basement, and a 1-car garage, there’s a lot to work with here. And if mowing isn’t your favorite weekend activity, you’re in luck—there’s almost no yard to mow! Just a little bitty front and side yard to keep things simple. The home needs a little love after the last tenant, but it has good, solid bones and a practical layout. With some cleaning, updating, and personal touches, this property could be ready for its next chapter. A great opportunity for an investor, rental property owner, or handy buyer looking for value.
