Priced with affordability in mind, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath brick home features several recent updates, including luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, a newer metal roof, and a newer sewer line. The flooring adds a fresh look and feel, while the roof and sewer line represent some of the more costly improvements homeowners hope they never have to think about. The home features a combined living and dining area with a fireplace, a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with access from both the primary bedroom and hallway, and a compact kitchen that includes the refrigerator and electric range. The oversized mudroom provides washer and dryer hookups along with a generous storage closet for coats, shoes, and household items. One bedroom includes built-in vanity and storage features, while the third bedroom may be best suited for an office, hobby room, or additional storage space. An unfinished basement provides additional storage and convenient access to plumbing and mechanical systems. Outside, the covered front porch, alley access, and drive-through access from the street to the alley offer flexibility for parking, future garage construction, or other uses. In a market where affordability continues to be a challenge, this property offers an opportunity to own at a price point that remains attainable for many buyers.
