Property Description

Calling all DIYers, hobbyists, and buyers looking for a true fixer-upper with incredible potential! Situated on two in-town lots at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this home offers the opportunity to build equity while creating a space that's uniquely yours. The home is fully livable, allowing you to tackle projects over time rather than all at once. It does need major exterior updates, including siding, windows, roof, and gutters, along with cosmetic improvements inside, making it an excellent fit for someone who enjoys restoring and improving a home. Inside you'll find spacious rooms, tall ceilings, abundant natural light, and a fully finished, carpeted third-floor bonus space that offers endless possibilities as a playroom, family room, hobby area, home office, or a non-conforming bedroom or guest space. Outside, the oversized double lot provides plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, pets, or future projects, while the detached garage offers additional storage and workspace. Conveniently located near schools, parks, shopping, and restaurants, this property is perfect for buyers who appreciate character, have a vision, and want the chance to restore a home while building lasting equity. Bring your ideas, your toolbox, and your imagination—homes with this much space, flexibility, and potential don't come along often!
