Classic Rancher with Endless Potential! Perfectly situated in a prime location, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick-front rancher offers a fantastic foundation for your dream home. This home features the rare combination of a spacious 2-car garage and the peace of mind that comes with updated plumbing, replacement windows, and the energy efficiency of solar panels. The main level highlights a cozy woodburning fireplace and a seamless transition to the outdoors through sliding glass doors that open to a patio—perfect for entertaining. Step outside to discover a beautiful, expansive yard with plenty of room to roam. The unfinished lower level provides a blank canvas for a workshop, gym, or additional living space. While this home could benefit from some personal TLC to make it shine, the excellent bones, location, and storage make it an incredible opportunity to build equity.
