Property Description
Totally updated in 2025 and move-in ready, this charming ranch blends single-level living with a fully finished basement - and serious income potential. The main level features an open kitchen with breakfast/office space, a comfortable living room, two bedrooms, and a full bath with walk-in shower, all on beautiful hardwood floors. The finished lower level adds a second full bath with tub, laundry, and a bedroom with attached bonus room - perfect as a second bedroom, nursery, or flex space - with potential for a separate hall entrance, ideal for an Airbnb or short-term rental (check local zoning rules). Updates include new heat/A/C and appliances (2026), sump pump (2025), and roof (2022), plus a brick driveway for three cars and a two-car garage. Turnkey, flexible, and investor-friendly! Available fully furnished! See floor plans to see forth bedroom option. Currently the fourth bedroom is a walk through but can change to have it's own entrance easily.
