    What's special

    Nestled near beautiful Union Park, this charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers approximately 1,000 square feet of comfortable living space and has been lovingly cared for over the years. About 21 years ago, the home underwent more than $50,000 in significant improvements, including updated kitchen cabinets and countertops, windows, doors, flooring, insulation, paint, siding, gutters, and more, providing a solid foundation for years to come. The water heater and electrical panel were also updated during that time. Step inside and enjoy the welcoming 3-season porch, a perfect spot to relax before entering the cozy living room that flows into the bedrooms and kitchen. Major mechanicals have also been addressed, including an HVAC system that is just 3 years old and a refrigerator that was replaced in 2025. The basement features a finished room ideal for a home gym, hobby space, or flex room, along with laundry and plenty of additional storage. This home presents a wonderful opportunity for buyers looking to add their personal touches in a well-established neighborhood near parks and amenities. Home is being sold As Is. Any inspections will be for buyer's knowledge only. Seller will not mitigate for termites or radon. All information obtained from seller and public record.
