Great potential at a great price! Nestled in a quiet, well-established neighborhood, this mid-century ranch is either the perfect starter home or is full of remodeling opportunities. The highlight of this home is the spacious and cozy sunroom that opens from the kitchen, with slider access to the large back deck and expansive back yard. Original hardwood floors throughout the main level family area, which leads to the three bedrooms and a recently remodeled main bathroom. Also features a large detached two-car garage and plenty of storage in the lower level, with laundry and a partial bathroom/shower. Roof replaced in 2019; HVAC in 2024.
