Great location, comfortable living, and an opportunity to make it your own! Close to the Reinhart Volunteer Park and just a short distance from downtown Grants Pass, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home puts recreation, local restaurants, and shopping within easy reach. Inside, vaulted ceilings give the living area an open, spacious feel, while the comfortable single-level floor plan makes good use of approximately 1,200 sq ft. The home needs some repairs and is priced to sell in its current condition, giving the next owner an opportunity to add their personal touches and build equity along the way. Whether you're looking for a place to call home or your next investment, this property is worth a look!
Charming home in quiet neighborhood. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1,200 sq. ft with all new paint inside and out. New Pergo flooring throughout, newer stainless steel appliances all under warranty. New doors throughout - pride of ownership! Double car garage. Big backyard! This is a great house and priced right! Plenty of natural light and walk in closets.
