Property Description

Sellers offering a $5,000 closing credit, which can be used at the buyers discretion for closing costs, rate buy downs, improvements, etc. Contact agent directly to talk about downpayment assistance programs for first time homebuyers and examples of how the credit could produce a lower monthly payment. Some opportunities are simply twice as nice, and this 1945 home is no exception. Set on a 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 footprint. Double the potential.
