Fantastic opportunity for a first time buyer. If you've been waiting for a single family home in your price point to come along that's not a condo or zero lot, here's your chance! Newer furnace and A/C (2018). You'll enjoy sweeping views from this home's elevated position above the road, and that means less traffic noise, too. Alley access to the garage and rear entrance to the home makes coming and going easy--no worries about traffic on 1st Ave! Upgraded smart switches and smart bulbs throughout much of the home. Three bedrooms with a bonus room in the lower level that could be an office, workout room or non-conforming bedroom. The large walkout lower level is semi-finished with sheetrock on the walls, but not the ceiling. It's the perfect opportunity for your vision! What would you want--a large family room, media room, art studio? Oversized two stall garage. Train lovers will enjoy watching trains from the picture window as they travel over the bridge. Thanks to the bridge, there is no longer a train crossing on 1st Ave which means NO TRAIN HORNS here! This home's well-kept yard is a small-scale orchard with a wide variety of trees including: apple, peach, sweet cherry, plum, Asian pear, paw paw and persimmon. All appliances and washer and dryer stay!
