This property is a 3 Bed, 2 Bath with an income producing 1 Bed, 1 Bath mother-in-law suite (with its own kitchen). Home was completely remodeled in 2024. There are too many updates and upgrades to list them all, but here are some: The brand new board and batten and cedar shake siding is being updated now (Will be completed by January.). The 3 Bed, 2 Bath main home has been completely remodeled and one of the bathrooms was added in the remodel. New front door. New vinyl plank flooring throughout. Freshly painted throughout. All light fixtures updated throughout! New stainless steel kitchen appliances, new raised panel kitchen cabinets with copper hardware, new white solid concrete countertops, hammered copper sink, new copper bridge kitchen faucet, and garbage disposal. Kitchen, living room, and front bedroom opened up to create an open concept. Removed a wall and expanded the kitchen to include a dining area. Added french doors to front bedroom (use as an office, bedroom, or formal dining room). Added a brand new master suite, adding a master bathroom, and expanding the master bedroom to make it larger. The master bath has a new 60" double vanity, new faucets and light fixture, new tiled tub/shower surround, new toilet, and 9' wood ceilings. The hall bath has been completely reconfigured with a new tiled corner shower with a new modern glass surround, new toilet, new vanity, and a new light fixture. All sink and shower systems in both bathrooms are brand new. Part of the house had a flat roof and low ceilings. The roof was removed and pitched to 4/12, and the ceilings were raised in those areas of the home with wood ceilings being added. Newer HVAC system was installed, including central air and all new ductwork. New gas meter and electrical service were added to separate the utilities. The electrical work was done by a licensed electrician. Updated original windows with new vinyl windows throughout. Added hookups for a stackable washer and dryer.

Utilities have been separated, with tenant paying own utilities. Mother-in-law suite generates $670 per month in rent. It can easily be converted back to a single family residence or keep a renter to help pay the mortgage! Garage is also rented and generates $100 per month.
