About This Home
As of April 2026If you've been waiting for an affordable home that doesn't need a long to-do list, this is it.
917 E 12th St has already been refreshed and updated so you can focus on settling in — not renovating. From the moment you walk in, you'll notice the light, open feel of the main living space and the comfortable flow that makes everyday living easy. The bedrooms upstairs offer just the right amount of space, whether you need room for family, guests, or a home office.
Outside, the yard gives you flexibility — space to play, entertain, or simply enjoy your own outdoor retreat. And with quick access to downtown and nearby amenities, you're never far from where you need to be.
This home is the perfect blend of practicality, comfort, and value — and it's ready for its next chapter.
