About This Home

As of September 2025

Beautiful 3-Bedroom Home - Excellent Condition - Quiet Neighborhood
This 1,328 sq. ft. home with an additional 252 sq. ft. flex area/breezeway offers the perfect blend of space, condition, and versatility. Built in 1950 and exceptionally well cared for, it's move-in ready and fits a wide range of buyer types—from first-time homeowners to those looking to downsize without sacrificing space.
Inside, you'll find three large bedrooms and a spacious bathroom, plus a bright and open flow throughout. The flex area is a huge bonus space—ideal for a sunroom, hobby area, or home office. The full, functional basement is another dynamite bonus, offering abundant storage, workshop potential, or future living space.
Recent updates include a newer exterior sewer line for added peace of mind. The attached oversized 2-car garage provides extra storage and easy parking, and the driveway extends all the way to the alley for convenience.
Located in a quiet, desirable neighborhood, this home delivers excellent value in both condition and location. With so much to offer, it's a property you'll be proud to call home.
