Improvements include LVP flooring in the living and dining areas, partial water line replacement, and early stages of additional finished space in the basement. An anchor wall foundation system was also installed during the seller’s ownership for added peace of mind. Inside, you’ll find a generously sized living room that flows seamlessly into the dining area—perfect for everyday living or entertaining. A cozy kitchen with lots of potential. The Main Level features two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The basement level offers some already finished space along with an additional bathroom, providing even more room to grow. In the back the large covered pack porch is ready for your creative touches for entertaining. Opportunity, space, and value—all waiting for your personal touch!
