Charming three-bedroom, one-bath home with great potential! While some TLC is needed, this property offers a solid foundation and appealing features throughout. Location is a major highlight—situated directly across from Becker Elementary and just down the street from Central Intermediate and the future Waterloo High School.Recent updates include a newer asphalt driveway and freshly poured concrete front steps and landing. The side entry door will require attention, but the detached double-stall garage includes an automatic opener for convenience. Inside, the open basement presents endless possibilities—whether left as-is or enhanced further, it’s perfect for a playroom, additional bedroom, media room, or flex space. Fenced-in back yard with large trees recently trimmed, a 12x12 wooden shed will assist with storage. A fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers or anyone looking to invest in a home with great bones and a prime location.
