This move-in ready property is being sold as is, offering the perfect blend of livability and opportunity. Step inside to a generous living room with recessed lighting, and a formal dining room ideal for gatherings. The large kitchen offers ample space and functionality, with a small mudroom tucked behind for added convenience—just bring your vision to finish off some light needed work. Upstairs, you'll find three large bedrooms, including a main bedroom featuring two closets and a gutted ensuite space ready to be transformed into your dream bath. A full hall bathroom includes a linen closet, and a charming cedar closet adds extra character and storage in the hallway. You will notice the quality original hardwood flooring, that needs repairs in some places, and just a little TLC in others. The basement is full and finished, with a half bathroom. Outside, enjoy a nice backyard, a 1-car detached garage, and a shared driveway. This is a home you can move into, and fix as you go. Buyer will be responsible for the U and O, and any lender required repairs. With plenty of curb appeal and located in a desirable neighborhood, this home is a rare find for those ready to invest in future equity. Very easy to move in, and fix as you go!
