What's special

Open main-floor layoutThree generously sized bedroomsSpacious kitchenDining area

Check out this 3-bedroom, 1 3/4 bathroom home conveniently located just blocks from the hospital! This home features an open main-floor layout with a spacious kitchen, dining area, and a bright living room filled with natural light from the large windows. You'll also find three generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom with main floor laundry for added convenience. The lower level was impacted by the 2024 flood, but a Thrasher mitigation system has been installed, providing peace of mind and a blank canvas for the next owner. With two egress windows already in place there is excellent potential to add two additional bedrooms and create even more living space. Completing the property is a 2-stall attached garage and a deck, perfect for relaxing or entertaining outdoors.
