***MULTIPLE offers received - highest and best due by 8.24 @ 5pm*** Introducing a unique opportunity for 1st time homeowners and investors! This 3-bed, 2-bath home with a detached 2 car garage and sunroom is a hidden gem with incredible potential. Set on a prominent corner lot, the home features recently installed solar panels offering immediate energy savings and a step towards sustainability. With solar power already in place, this property is an ideal candidate for a green renovation. Investors/flippers/1st time home owners can transform the interior into an eco-friendly haven, leveraging the solar panels to create a modern, energy-efficient living space. The home has been maintained and features a newer fridge (2021), dishwasher (2021), furnace and central A/C (both 2020), water heater (2018), HARDWOOD floors throughout the bedrooms and living room, an ecobee smart thermostat, and the attic has all new insulation (2023). The garage roof is 10 years old, home roof is partially new (where solar panels are), and the rest of the roof is 10 years old. An addition to the home was added on in 1970. Sold as-is this property is perfect for those looking to add value though thoughtful updates while enjoying the long-term benefits of renewable energy. Don't miss the chance to make this eco-conscious home your next project.
