Looking for a large home to spread out in, this one checks the boxes. Use the separate family room, bed and bath combo for a master retreat or a mother in-law suite! So much versatility for the creative owner. Wait till you see the potential in the enclosed front porch with its own half bath and office. With a little cosmetic flair this would be a standout house. The home features a bright freshly painted kitchen, a warm welcoming dining room and a huge living room with a brick fireplace and a private office off of the large front entry way. Upstairs there is a large full bath and 3 really nice sized bedrooms. Most of the hardwood floors on the main level have been beautifully refinished. The entire upstairs also has hardwood floors under the carpeting. The home has a lifetime steel roof and is located on a large corner lot off of the main street of Alpha. Owners installed a new wood add on furnace in order to heat economically. There is a detached garage and the street in front of the home is lined with beautiful mature maple trees. Downstairs bathrooms need finishing touches. !

Sellers are very motivated to sell this home. The original price was $49,000 and has just been drastically reduced. The home features a bright freshly painted kitchen, a warm welcoming dining room and a huge living room with a brick fireplace and a private office off of the large front entry way. There is a family room with a separate outside entry, which has a bedroom and unfinished bathroom. (Could be for that adult child who just moved in!) Upstairs there is a large full bath and 3 really nice sized bedrooms. Most of the hardwood floors on the main level have been beautifully refinished. The entire upstairs also has hardwood floors under the carpeting. The home has a lifetime steel roof and is located on a large corner lot off of the main street of Alpha. There is a detached garage and the street in front of the home is lined with beautiful mature maple trees. The waterline was replaced this spring.
