Sunlight moves through the living room, family room, and bright sunroom, creating warm, welcoming spaces that feel instantly lived-in. Classic built-ins add character, while central air and thoughtful updates -- including granite countertops and new cabinetry -- bring modern comfort. For home buyers, the layout feels generous and flexible, with room for guests, hobbies, or a home office. The detached garage adds storage and convenience, and the double lot gives you the kind of outdoor space that's hard to find this close to town. For investors, the location is the real advantage. Just minutes from the medical college, this property sits in a high-demand rental corridor where students and medical professionals are always looking for housing. With five bedrooms and multiple living areas, it's naturally suited for shared living -- or, for the visionary, the double lot offers potential for expansion or future redevelopment.
