Completely renovated and sitting on a spacious .42-acre lot, this 3-bedroom/1 bath home offers the kind of updates and extras that are hard to find at this price. The home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with new electrical, plumbing, flooring, kitchen, and bath, along with a new architectural-shingle roof. Inside, the layout is bright, clean, and efficient, with updated finishes and comfortable living spaces throughout. Outside is where this property really stands out. The large, fully fenced backyard includes a 30x24 detached shop with garage and roll-up doors on a poured concrete slab—ideal for workshop space, equipment, hobbies, or additional storage. Covered parking and generous covered front and back porches add even more usable space. If you are looking for a move-in-ready home with a large yard and a substantial shop already in place, this one deserves a look.
