If you've been looking for an affordable home with great bones and endless potential, this is it. Inside, you'll find an updated kitchen with granite countertops, living room, two main-level bedrooms, a full basement with additional living space, a laundry area. Outside to enjoy the large multi-level deck overlooking the backyard, perfect for relaxing or entertaining family and friends and newer heated outbuilding provides the perfect space for hobbies, a workshop, or additional storage. The oversized 2.5-car heated garage with its own furnace offers endless possibilities for car enthusiasts, a workshop, or additional storage. Major improvements completed over the years include newer windows (approximately 2015), roof replacements on both the house and garage, newer siding, and updated soffits, fascia, and gutters. Conveniently located within walking distance to downtown Lansing, you'll enjoy easy access to restaurants, shopping, parks, the public library, schools, and the Lan-Oak Park District. Commuters will appreciate the close proximity to major expressways, River Oaks shopping, and nearby Munster, Indiana. The home is being sold as-is, but with a little vision and TLC, this property has the potential to truly shine. Motivated seller - bring your ideas and your offer!
