Property Description
Attention investors and handypeople looking for a great brick ranch out of the city limits and no HOA needing primarily cosmetic updates for a quick flip or potential for some considerable sweat equity! This home features a roof from 2025, HVAC from 2023, vinyl replacement windows from a previous owner and a nearly half acre lot. It was originally built as a 3/1 but a previous owner removed the wall between the primary and secondary bedrooms to create a 2/1 with a large primary bedroom, so it should be easy to convert back to a 3 bedroom home if desired. This home is priced for a quick as-is sale, schedule your tour ASAP!
