Cozy, well-maintained home located minutes away from downtown Janesville, the local hospital, Washington elementary school, and a block away from the Rock River. This home is loaded with potential, only needing some fresh paint, new flooring and a vision! Enjoy finished basement space for a rec room or home theater, adjacent to a full bathroom and large office that could be converted into a bedroom with the addition of an egress window. Next to the one-car garage is a paved section of driveway to provide additional off-street parking, and seller has paid for lawn maintenance through NatureScape through the rest of 2025.
