About This Home

As of June 2025

This 2 bedroom, 1 bath home offers so much potential. Under the same ownership for decades. —whether you're looking for a cozy starter home or a promising investment property. Sitting on three separate lots, there's plenty of space to grow, garden, or expand. The bathroom has been updated, and the home features newer windows that add comfort and energy efficiency. While the interior could use some cleaning and cosmetic updates, the bones are solid. The 2nd bedroom is currently being used as a 1st floor laundry flex space but could be converted back into a bedroom. With a little TLC, this home could shine as a profitable rental or comfortable starter home. Outside, you'll find a fenced-in backyard, perfect for pets or kids, and two outbuildings: one is a versatile small structure that could serve as a storage space, workshop, mancave, or she shed, (owners called it "the cabin") and the other offers additional storage for tools, lawn equipment, or seasonal items. With a large lot footprint, updated bathroom, new flooring in some rooms, this property offers both value and opportunity.
