About this home
Opportunity awaits! This property offers incredible potential and appears to have solid, well-maintained bones. The home showcases a wealth of original woodwork, including beautiful hardwood floors throughout the first level. Many newer windows and updated appliances enhance both comfort and appeal. While the main house could benefit from some cosmetic TLC, it features 3–4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a studio apartment above the 1-car garage/workshop. Live in the home and rent out the apartment for extra income, perfect for offsetting your mortgage while you make improvements. A second outbuilding provides additional storage, making this property even more versatile. Property is being sold as-is.
