Wonderful opportunity to bring new life to this one-owner home in a centrally located neighborhood off of Cook Hill with sidewalks and convenient access to schools and commuting routes. This home offers great bones and tremendous potential for the buyer looking to make cosmetic updates and build equity. The main level offers 1,220 square feet of living space with a functional layout for everyday living and entertaining, including the living room, dining room, and kitchen. There are also three generously sized bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with a full bath. The lower level previously included a rec room with an additional 480 square feet of living space. Although that area was affected by a hot water heater flood, it offers an easy opportunity to recreate a family room, playroom, or flexible living space. There is also room to add a half bath in the lower level if desired. A large 2-car garage, newer oil tank, and brand-new hot water heater add to the home's value. This is a diamond in the rough and a wonderful chance to invest in a home with great upside. Home is being sold in "as-is" condition.
