About This Home

This ranch-style home offers two bedrooms, plus two additional bonus rooms-ideal for anyone needing flexible space for a guest room, home office, or hobby area. The home retains its original layout and could benefit from some updates, giving a new owner the opportunity to tailor it to their taste. Recent improvements include updated windows and low-maintenance vinyl siding. A standout feature is the oversized detached garage-newer construction and accessible from the alley-perfect for extra storage, workshop use, or off-street parking. The lot has space for outdoor projects or garden beds, and the home's footprint makes it easy to maintain.
