About This Home

As of March 2025

Looking for a new owner willing to put in a little sweat equity. One could not ask for a better location with no back neighbors allowing a great private view and just a couple quick turns from the corner of Western and Exchange. Sitting on a nice cull-d-sac wooded lot with small babbling makes a perfect picnic setting in your own back yard. This brick home features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bath, eat in kitchen, family room addition with gas fireplace that can be converted to a wood burning as well as a 1.5 car garage. The furnace has been replaced and central A/C unit added as well as a newer hot water heater. This home has been a rental for many years so lots of cosmetic updating will be necessary. Owner would like to sell as-is so if you are an FHA buyer you will need a 203k loan to purchase. Investor offers welcome with a total rehabbed price near 200k. Let's make a deal.
