Opportunity meets character at 3438 Monroe Street in Lansing! This 3-bedroom ranch is a classic Sears & Roebuck home, offering a unique piece of architectural history and plenty of potential for its next owner. Step inside through the enclosed front porch to a traditional floor plan featuring a living room with fireplace, separate dining room and kitchen. Oak hardwood floors are waiting beneath the carpeting, offering a great starting point for bringing new life to the home's original character. Three bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level, while the full unfinished basement provides plenty of additional space and possibilities. Outside, you'll find a charming yard, spacious back deck and detached 2-car garage. Located in an established Lansing neighborhood convenient to local parks, restaurants and community amenities. The home is livable as it stands, but offers an exciting opportunity for a rehabber, investor or buyer with a vision to update, restore and make it their own. Bring your ideas and uncover the potential in this classic home! Property is being sold AS-IS.
