Under contract-accepting backup offers. Built in 1957, this 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom block home offers a layout that gives the next owner a little more flexibility than you might expect at first glance. A new roof installed in 2024 takes care of one of the biggest future expenses for a home in this price range, and the hot water heater was replaced in 2025. Inside, the living and dining areas share a comfortable central space that connects naturally with the kitchen, creating a layout that works well for everyday routines. The kitchen and bathroom were updated in prior years and remain clean and functional, giving the next owner the option to enjoy them as they are or update over time. One of the more useful features of the property is the additional bonus room created from the former carport. The space has its own mini-split A/C unit, installed in 2025, and is reached through a covered walkway that connects the house to the laundry and storage area before entering the room. Because it also has its own exterior door to the driveway, the room works well for a home office, hobby space, workout area, or simply extra room to spread out. Just off the kitchen is a screened porch that provides a practical covered area for storage or everyday use. The backyard also includes a large storage shed, offering additional space for tools and equipment. For buyers looking for a solid home with extra usable space and a major improvement already completed, this property offers a practical opportunity in an established neighborhood. It's a straightforward home with a few features that make it worth seeing in person.
