Welcome to your next project! This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers a solid foundation with much of the work already underway—making it the perfect opportunity for someone ready to add their own finishing touches.
Inside, the kitchen remodel has been started, and many of the bathrooms are under construction but well on their way. Most of the home features brand-new windows, and upstairs you’ll find two bathrooms already in place. A bright sunroom on the main level fills the home with natural light, while a convenient mudroom leads directly into the kitchen.
Recent updates include a new AC unit (2021), furnace (2008), water heater (2010), plus 18 rolls of new insulation added in the attic. The home also comes with a large amount of building materials to help complete the remodel, including insulation rolls, wiring, doors, and more.
Out back, enjoy the large fenced yard and a 10x10 shed for extra storage. With plenty of potential and a head start on major improvements, this home is ready to be finished exactly the way you envision it.
