Tired of renting and ready for a place you can finally make your own? This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom ranch offers an affordable opportunity to step into homeownership, build equity, and update at your own pace. Built in 1988, this home has great bones, several important improvements already completed, and mostly cosmetic projects remaining for a buyer willing to put in a little work. Inside, you will find hardwood floors throughout the living and dining areas, tile in the bathroom, and a rear addition that provides extra living space and a convenient half bath. The kitchen is fairly up to date, with cabinets replaced approximately 12 years ago, while the toilets and sinks were updated about four years ago. Bring your paint brushes and a little creativity. Fresh paint, sanding and painting the kitchen cabinets, and updating portions of the siding could make a noticeable difference without taking on a complete renovation. Several of the bigger ticket items have already been addressed, including a roof replaced approximately four years ago, water heater approximately five years ago, and windows approximately eight years ago. Outside, the approximately half acre property offers a fenced backyard, an above ground pool installed about four years ago, and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. Garage and workspace are another major bonus, with an attached 1 car garage plus a separate 2 bay shop offering excellent space for vehicles, tools, projects, hobbies, or additional storage. If you have been waiting for a lower price point to get into the housing market and do not mind rolling up your sleeves for some light renovations, this could be the opportunity you have been looking for. Instead of paying rent for someone else's property, put your time and creativity into a home of your own, with space, a pool, a fenced yard, substantial garage and workshop space, and plenty of potential to make it yours.
