Quaint 1950 cottage with character and potential, ideally suited for a buyer looking for charm, convenience, and room to add value or the savvy business owner searching for the perfect location for their small business.

A wraparound porch spans three sides of the home, with the rear portion framed in and ready to be screened—perfect for enjoying outdoor living. The level, cleared .41-acre lot provides ample outdoor space, and a large detached building offers excellent storage. A separate, enclosed laundry room with concrete floors and electricity is located just off the back of the home allowing for more storage. Conveniently located close to town amenities and interstate access, this property offers easy connectivity while maintaining a cozy cottage feel. This home presents a great opportunity for buyers seeking an affordable entry point in a central location. Zoned Neighborhood Commercial.
