🏡 AFFORDABLE. LIVABLE. AND ROOM TO MAKE IT WORTH MORE.

Not every home needs to be completely remodeled before you can move in. Sometimes the opportunity is buying at the right price and making improvements on your own timeline.

This 3-bedroom home offers 1,476 sq ft and is move-in ready for the right buyer, while still being priced at a level that may make sense for investors.

Inside you'll find two main-level bedrooms, spacious living areas, an eat-in kitchen and a screened front porch. Upstairs, the private third bedroom includes additional space that could become a home office, hobby area, dressing room or extra storage.

And don't overlook the oversized detached garage!

✨ Live in it while you improve it
✨ Update it to your own taste
✨ Potential to build equity through improvements
✨ Opportunity for investors looking for their next project
✨ 3 bedrooms | 1,476 sq ft
✨ Oversized detached garage

If you've been priced out of the homes that are already completely remodeled, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Property is being sold as-is and may not qualify for all financing programs. Some marketing images have been enhanced for illustrative purposes, including virtual landscaping and/or furnishings. Actual property condition may differ.

Great opportunity for buyers looking to build equity. Thi...
