Affordable opportunity located in sought-after Derry Township! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch is move-in ready while offering plenty of potential to renovate, personalize, and build sweat equity over time. Priced competitively with its dated finishes in mind, it is a great opportunity to buy in Derry Township without paying for someone else’s updates. The home retains plenty of 1960s character, including hardwood flooring beneath portions of the carpeting. The screened-in former carport provides flexible covered living space and could potentially be converted back into vehicle parking. An unfinished walk-in basement offers valuable storage today, along with the possibility of additional finished living space in the future. Laundry hookups are currently on the main floor (in one of the bedrooms), but can easily be moved back to the basement by the future owner. Additional features include central air conditioning, oil heat, well water, public sewer, and a manageable . 17-acre lot. The location provides convenient access to Hershey-area attractions, shopping, employment centers, and major interstate routes. Move in and enjoy the home as it is, or update it at your own pace and unlock its full potential.
