About This Home

As of June 2023

A 3-bedroom home that needs a little bit of work can be a great investment opportunity for those willing to put in some effort. As you enter the home, you'll likely notice some areas that could use a fresh coat of paint or new flooring. The kitchen and bathrooms may need some updates, such as new appliances, countertops, or fixtures. Despite the need for some repairs and updates, the home should still have a functional layout and good bones. The bedrooms is spacious and have adequate closet space. The living areas should provide plenty of space for entertaining or relaxing with family and friends.
