Conveniently located in town with easy access to major highways, schools, and local amenities, this spacious tri-level home offers great potential! The main level features a bright living room and an eat-in kitchen with sliders leading to a beautiful four-season porch — perfect for year-round enjoyment. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms with hardwood floors and a full bath. The lower level offers even more living space with a cozy family room, a second full bath, and a fourth room ideal for a home office, guest space, or additional bedroom, with walk-out access to the backyard. Situated on a desirable corner lot, this property also includes an attached oversized one-car garage. While the home could benefit from some updating and TLC, it presents a fantastic opportunity to build equity and make it your own.
