Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this spacious split-level home is ready for your creative vision. The home boasts three floors: the main level includes hardwood floors that are in good shape, and the eat-in kitchen features black and white ceramic tiles, updated cabinets, and granite counters. The upper level has hardwood floors with some staining, a dated hall bath, and a master bath that also shows signs of age. The rooms are generously sized.
