WHY RENT WHEN YOU CAN OWN? This affordable bungalow-style home offers 2–3 bedrooms and 1 bath and is full of potential for homeowners or investors alike. The four replacement windows provide added efficiency and natural light throughout the home. The attached carport offers convenient covered parking or could easily transform into a fun outdoor entertaining space—imagine a grill, festive lights, and a cozy gathering spot for friends and family. A small enclosed back porch with shelving adds a handy space for storage, pantry overflow, or a practical drop zone. A spacious 11.4 x 11.4 shed provides great additional storage for tools, lawn equipment, or hobbies. Even better, the kitchen appliances remain along with the washer and dryer, making this home move-in ready and adding extra value. Located in a convenient area near the ball park, this property offers comfort, affordability, and a great opportunity to make it your own. Don’t miss your chance to own for less than the cost of renting!
