Discover exceptional potential in this walk-out ranch, nestled on a spacious lot with a 2.5-car garage, boasting nearly 1000 sq ft of finished space on the main level and an additional 700 sq ft downstairs. Numerous upgrades enhance its allure, such as a new main bath, LVP flooring, carpet, fresh interior paint, new lighting, and a fully renovated kitchen featuring brand-new stainless steel appliances and granite countertops! The recently finished walk-out lower level adds value with a kitchenette, family room, third bedroom, and a ¾ bath. The HVAC system was new in 2022, the water heater new in 2021, and the roof is 3-4 years old. The exterior showcases durable steel siding, newer gutters, and vinyl windows, minimizing exterior maintenance requirements. The backyard is fully fenced. There are ample parking spaces allowing effortless car maneuvering and eliminating the necessity of backing up onto the street. NFC financing is available.All information obtained from Seller and public records.
