This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home features refinished hardwood floors in the living and dining rooms, a bright and spacious living room, and a separate dining room perfect for everyday meals or gatherings. The kitchen has been updated since the previous sale, and the large, freshly repainted front porch offers a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the neighborhood. The main floor includes one bedroom, with two additional bedrooms upstairs. The second level also features a generous unfinished area that offers exciting potential for future expansion, ideal for creating extra living space, a home office, playroom, or a large primary suite. The basement has been drywalled and includes a built-in entertainment console. All you need is flooring to complete the space! The interior would benefit from a paint refresh, allowing the next owner the opportunity to add their personal touch. While the property does not currently have a garage, there is ample space to build one. The private, fenced yard provides a great area for play, pets, or entertaining. A wonderful opportunity to own a home near Six Corners with great bones, classic details, and plenty of possibilities to tailor it to your needs and style.
