A new roof in 2023, zoned HVAC, and a detached oversized 2-car garage/shop with 220 power and insulated doors anchor the value, all on a 1/3-acre lot with room for additional building or expansion. Inside, theres a main floor laundry, oversized full bath, large kitchen with pantry and eat-in space, and a mudroom with storage and basement access. Upstairs are four generous bedrooms with oversized closets, and a covered front porch adds a touch of character. This isnt for the faint of heart, foundation needs work, but its a project with a long-term upside. Call today to schedule your showing!
