Property Description

This 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch is a great opportunity for a buyer looking for an affordable home with potential to build some sweat equity. The property needs some updating and cosmetic work, but several of the big-ticket items have already been addressed, including a newer furnace, newer water heater, and recently replaced sewer line. The unfinished basement provides additional space for storage and offers potential for future finishing. The property sits on a generous lot and includes a 2-car detached garage along with an additional single-car garage. The second garage will need some work but could provide useful storage, workshop space, or additional parking once improved. Located in an NFC lending area, qualified buyers may be eligible for Neighborhood Finance Corporation assistance, including potential forgivable funds and closing cost assistance. Convenient location with easy access to downtown, shopping, restaurants, parks, schools, and major highways. If you're looking for a home you can improve and make your own, this one is worth a look!
