Update!! Extremely motivated seller!! NEW agent, NEW sellers, NEW floors, NEW roof, NEW paint!! When I say "NEW" I mean 2024 has been a good year for this property! Make it a great NEW! find for you. This property boasts a great corner lot, close to Nelson Park and the many amenities this east side neighborhood has to offer. The covered front porch is the perfect spot to sit and take in the sights and sounds of the neighborhood. Once inside this 1000+ sq. ft. home holds 3 bedrooms (or 2 and an office). The living room, dining room and kitchen have an open connection. The HUGE window above the sink keeps you focused on the outside while doing those chores! Moving into the basement there are separated areas with plenty of storage. More possibilities for a home office or gym! Heading out to find the cutest yard with a privacy fence and breezeway leading in to the single car garage, fit for the worst of weather!! Come see what the area has to offer!
