About This Home
As of February 2026Take a look at this solid brick ranch set on an extra-deep 37' x 186' lot. The main level features two bedrooms, a spacious living/dining room combo, an eat-in kitchen, and a bright family room addition overlooking the oversized yard. Beautiful hardwood floors are waiting to be uncovered beneath the main-level carpet. The finished basement extends your living space with a third bedroom, a bathroom, and a generous family/recreation room. You'll also appreciate the large separate laundry/work room for added convenience. A full cement driveway leads to an enormous garage with a 7' door-perfect for multiple vehicles, hobbies, or storage. The backyard offers plenty of room for outdoor activities and entertaining. With a little updating, this home has the potential to become something truly special. This home is sold in "as is" condition.
