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.
