    What's special

    Off-street parkingExtensive renovationBeautifully renovated home
    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.
