Remarks and Miscellaneous

Public Remarks: Welcome home to this charming ranch-style property offering comfortable living space, great potential, and a flexible layout! The main level has been professionally cleaned and is move-in ready, featuring a welcoming entryway that opens into the spacious living room, formal dining area, and kitchen. All appliances stay, excluding the refrigerator in the back room known as the 3rd bedroom and the one in the garage. making this home even more convenient for its next owner. This home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level. Just a few steps down between the main level and basement, you'll find the laundry area and third bedroom. The nicely landscaped exterior adds to the home's curb appeal, while the handicap-accessible ramp provides added convenience and accessibility. The basement offers excellent opportunity for additional living space or future customization. Previously used as a rental, it includes walkout access, a kitchen area, and two additional rooms that were once used as bedrooms. With some updating and finishing touches, the lower level could become a recreation area, related living space, home office setup, or whatever best suits your needs. Outside, enjoy the detached 2-car garage and you are able to park on the street as well. Whether you're looking for a move-in ready main level with room to expand or an investment in future possibilities, this home has so much potential to make it your own! There is additional storage space by the ramp via a little door for convenience and most of the windows have been replaced and this home provides a newer gas water heater! The detached garage was built in 1994. You will definitely want to check this one out!
