MID-CENTURY MODERN CLASSIC! Renovations are complete! This home is now move-in-ready. The neighborhood is very desirable, one block from Opelika Middle School and 3 blocks from Northside. The home has solid construction (Doug Horne, Sr., for those of us who are old enough to remember!) and is a one-owner. New roof added in March 2025. New breakers in electrical box, new cooktop, new counter tops, new refrigerator, cabinets have been rearranged to open up the kitchen/breakfast area, updated bathrooms, new paint inside and out, new refinished floors, new kitchen floors, and so much more. Backyard has been cleared and some trees removed. New landscaping with azaleas. POTENTIAL for adding deck off breakfast room backdoor to create a private backyard oasis. POTENTIAL to turn large bonus room into a primary bedroom/new bathroom making home a 4/3. New photos coming soon. Property should be closed by Pat Smith at Donaldson & Donaldson's office as he is handling the estate.
