What's special

Office areaAppliances to stayBack deckDining room

Check out this affordable home located close to downtown! This home would make a good fixer upper or an investment property as a rental. The main floor features a good sized living room, kitchen with plenty of cupboard space and appliances to stay, a dining room, a full bathroom, one bedroom with lots of closet space, and an office area. Upstairs you will find a bedroom with an additional sitting area/closet. Full basement is partially finished with a large family/rec room, non-conforming bedroom, laundry/utility room, and a room that is set up for a 3/4 bathroom that is not finished. This home was moved here in 1998 so the basement and foundation was done at that time. Enjoy your evenings relaxing on your back deck. Good sized backyard with alley access and room to build a detached garage. New roof in 2023, new furnace and AC in 2026. Call today to set up your private viewing!
