Completely rebuilt from the studs in 2022, this beautifully renovated home offers the perfect combination of modern
finishes, functional space, and investment potential.
Featuring 3 spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, plus a 4th nonconforming bedroom, there's plenty of room for family, guests, a home office, or workout space.
Previously rented for $2,300 per month, this property presents an excellent opportunity for both homeowners and
investors.
The extensive renovation provides peace of mind while delivering today's most sought-after features and
finishes.
Outside, you'll appreciate the convenience of off-street parking, and the home is vacant and move-in ready for
its next owner.
Whether you're searching for your next home or a turnkey investment property, this one checks all the boxes!
This home is located within the Neighborhood Finance Corporation (NFC) lending area. Eligible buyers financing through NFC may qualify for a $15,000 forgivable renovation grant, which could help offset the cost of adding a garage or other qualifying improvements after purchase. Buyer eligibility and program guidelines apply.
