Lovely ranch home beautifully situated on a flat lot under a canopy of oaks on approximately 1 acre inside 540. Newer kitchen appliances, roof (2020), newer windows (exception is the front picture window), new living room carpet. In recent years the seller updated the kitchen, converted the carport into a laundry/bonus/storage area (406sqft.) Primary bathroom was updated to include a walk-in tub/shower. This home has endless potential for someone wanting to make updates, add on, or to start over. Fenced yard with 2 sheds. Sellers state that hardwoods are under existing flooring. This is truly a diamond in the rough!
