OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS!!! CUTE HOUSE AND 4 ADDITIONAL LOTS - several options and redevelopment potential in Valley Township's R2 district. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own an adorable 2+ bdrm/1+ bath bungalow nestled on beautiful property in the quaint WESTWOOD area of the township. A pre-listing home inspection was conducted in November 2022, and the report is uploaded in Bright MLS Documents. Please reference the report as an attachment to the Seller's Property Disclosure when submitting an offer. Many of the items noted in the report have been completed. The living and dining rooms walls and kitchen ceiling were recently painted as well as one bedroom and there is a new roof over the back porch. Charm abounds in this home, with wide traditional wood moldings and deep baseboards, solid wood doors, classic custom oak room dividers between the living and dining rooms, and a brick fireplace in the living room, and large double-hung windows throughout. Please note: we don't know if the fireplace is functional. ) We believe that there are wood floors beneath the carpeting on the main floor. The kitchen is large enough for a large island or table and the spacious dining room will accommodate a large group of friends and family for those special occasions. Enjoy the sights and sounds of Mother Nature from the front and back porches. There is a finished attic with headroom which is accessed through a barn door and a staircase in one of the bedrooms. .. this bonus space could be a 3rd bedroom, play room, office, or simply a great storage area. .. You decide! The dry unfinished basement is accessed two ways - by a staircase in the hallway and through Bilco-type doors in the back porch. The hot water heater, well pump and pressure tank are newer and the well components are tucked away in a separate room. There are some interesting cabinets in the basement which were used for storage but could be refinished and repurposed. Two large concrete utility sinks are next to the washer/dryer hook ups. The washer, dryer and dehumidifier are included, AS IS. The house is situated in the middle of 5 total lots, 2 on each side of the house. There is a wooden shed with a rear garage door which is super convenient for getting larger equipment in and out. There is a lean-to type "potting shed" attached to the side of the main shed which we think could easily be removed while saving the main shed's appearance and functionality. The shed needs work but it's cute and well located. With your imagination and some TLC, this could be an awesome home or investment for the right buyer. Valley Township is "hot" so jump on the bandwagon and take part in the excitement.
