About This Home
Discover comfort and convenience in this inviting 2-bedroom, 1-bath home located just steps from Valley Junction's Main Street. With a warm, welcoming atmosphere this home is perfect for first-time buyers or anyone looking to be near the heart of the community. Enjoy peace of mind with major updates already taken care of: a brand new furnace and central air conditioning system were installed in 2024, new plumbing in 2022, and new roof in 2021.
Inside, you'll find a large eat-in kitchen. A third non-conforming bedroom offers great flexibility and makes an excellent home office or creative space.
Enjoy the outdoors in the generous backyard, which offers ample space for gardening, entertaining, or backyard enjoyment. There's also convenient alley access, with the alley set to be paved this summer making it easy to add a garage or off-street parking.
Located in a quiet neighborhood just a short stroll to shops, restaurants, and farmers market, this home blends small-town charm with urban convenience.
