Nestled on a picturesque one-acre lot in Washington Township, this solid brick ranch home offers a rare opportunity for buyers with vision to unlock its full potential. Surrounded by sprawling hills, mature trees, in a beautiful rural setting, this home offers exceptional bones, a desirable layout, and a chance to transform a well-loved residence into something truly special. The expansive backyard provides a private, park-like setting with room to spare - whether you envision a garden, pool, outdoor entertaining area, play space, or simply enjoying the open green space, this property offers endless possibilities. Inside, this home offers a functional ranch layout with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including a private bath off the master bedroom. While the home reflects its original era, and is ready for updating, it offers a function floorplan and a solid foundation for future improvements. The Florida room showcases vaulted ceilings with two skylights that overlooks the backyard and provides a bright space to relax and enjoy the property's natural setting. The unfinished basement offers potential for ample additional living space and features a wood burning fireplace, high ceilings and a walkout to the backyard. The home also features an attached two-car garage with space for a potential workshop and a storage shed in the back yard. This property is an estate sale and is being sold in "as-is" condition.
