About this home

This ranch home--well-loved for decades by its current family--is ready for new owners to make their own memories. Nestled in a picturesque and sought-after neighborhood, it exudes charm and offers a wealth of potential. The interior layout is both functional and flexible, with abundant natural light. Enter into the spacious living room, with flexible layout and adjacent dining area open to the family room and kitchen. Down the hall, find two bedrooms, bathroom, and a third smaller room (used as a 3rd bedroom by sellers but likely best suited as an office or laundry room). The walk-up attic offers even more opportunity. This home is sited in a prime location, close to downtown, beach, and trails, with a spacious lot, convenient garage, and a brand-new septic system. It's just waiting for your personal touch and vision--don't miss your chance to transform this house into the home you've always desired.**This is an estate sale and home will be sold as-is. Showings begin at Open House.**
