Description

Move-in ready and beautifully updated, this ranch home sits on a huge fully fenced double lot with room to grow with over 1,000 finished square feet! The main level features three bedrooms, a full bathroom, living room with picture window and a kitchen recently refreshed with new countertops and all appliances included. The fully waterproofed basement adds valuable living space in the form of a non-conforming primary suite with full bathroom and large closet, plus a workshop/hobby room. Numerous upgrades throughout the home make it truly turnkey and ready for its next owner: new front deck, new flooring & paint, bathroom remodel, electrical panel, radon mitigation system, furnace & water heater! Outside, the oversized yard provides endless opportunities for chickens, entertaining, gardening, play space, or future improvements. The detached drive-through garage has an overhead door on the back for added convenience, so you can drive your mower right through into the fenced backyard. Located within walking distance of McKee Education Center, Brubaker Elementary, Hoyt Middle School and FourMile Community Recreation Center. This home offers the perfect combination of updates, space, location, and value!
