Welcome to 12 Caxton Dr., a ranch home nestled in the established Coventry neighborhood. Opportunity awaits with an expanded main-level layout, detached garage, and finished basement! Originally designed as a three-bedroom home, the main level was reconfigured to create a generously sized eat-in kitchen with abundant cabinet and countertop space, making it the heart of the home. The kitchen includes a side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher, and range, while the adjoining living room features luxury vinyl plank flooring. Two comfortable bedrooms and a centrally located full bath with an updated walk-in shower complete the main level. The finished basement expands the living space with a large family room, a bonus room currently utilized as a bedroom with oversized closets, a half bath, plus a spacious utility and storage area. Outside, enjoy the fenced backyard, detached garage, and private driveway, offering plenty of room for parking, hobbies, or outdoor entertaining. Additional highlights include a roof replaced in 2016 and a water heater installed in 2019. Being sold in as-is condition, this property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers to add their own personal touches while building equity in an established neighborhood.
