Located on a quiet street with giant lot, this 3 bedroom, 1 bath zero entry home just needs a little TLC and would make a great rental, fairgrounds AirBnB, or single family residence. With paint and some flooring this home would shine. After entering through the cute front porch you are greeted by an open concept living room and eat in kitchen with all appliances included. Dedicated pantry and convenient first floor laundry round out the living space. Off the hallway you'll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The fully fenced almost 1/2 acre completely private lot with 1 car garage, storage shed, and pergola gives you plenty of space to relax and retreat.
