About This Home
As of May 2025Good opportunity here for a buyer to bring some sweat equity, OR for investor to purchase as a fixer upper, rent or flip. This home has an excellent floor plan! Living room with vaulted ceiling opens to dining room and kitchen. Newer flooring here. Kitchen with good amount of cabinets and L-shaped breakfast bar. Main floor laundry is super convenient. The 3 bedrooms have good closet space - they need painting, flooring ... fixes are required around the home, but they appear mostly cosmetic. Large partial basement for finishing. There is a sump pump, and crawlspace offering extra storage. Back yard includes storage shed. The location of this home is great, close to Library, Schools, Police/Fire departments, City Hall - commuting is easy as close to Route 41. See this one and imagine the possibilities.
