About This Home

This property presents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking both immediate rental income and long-term value. The main residence is a well-maintained three-bedroom, two-bath home featuring generously sized rooms, abundant storage, and a large family room that flows seamlessly into the open kitchen. Natural light fills the interior through numerous windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The grounds are equally well kept, with a spacious backyard that includes a three-car garage and an additional storage building. Above the garage sits a 1,000-square-foot two-bedroom, one-bath apartment, currently leased at $700 per month, providing reliable supplemental income. With its thoughtful layout, clean condition, and income-producing potential, this property stands as a strong investment in both comfort and financial return.
