About This Home

As of August 2025

Opportunity Knocks! This 3-bedroom home is perfectly situated on a corner lot across from Lincoln Elementary School and just down from Lincoln Park-an ideal location. The fully fenced backyard features a spacious deck, a playset, and a detached 2-car garage. This property is in need of some updating, but with a bit of sweat equity, it could be transformed into a charming home or a solid investment property. 2022 house roof, 2017 garage roof. Please note: home will not qualify for RD, FHA, or VA financing. Being sold as-is.
