Some opportunities are simply twice as nice, and this 1945 home is no exception. Set on a double corner lot, this property offers room to spread out and create something special. But the magic doesn't stop at the lot line. The 812 square foot exterior entry basement, mirroring the homes footprint, is ready for whatever sawdust and daydreams you can imagine! Inside, the home lives simply with two bedrooms, one full bath, and defined living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Fresh paint and new carpet bring a crisp refresh; the perfect canvas for your personal style and future updates. Enjoy slow mornings on the porch or unwind in the evening overlooking a yard full of possibility. Whether your vision includes gardens and gatherings or expansion and community living, this property offers the kind of flexibility that rarely comes along. Double the lot. Double the footprint. Double the potential.
