Check out this charming home that brings you space, character & opportunity! This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, two-story home offers plenty of room to grow and a fantastic opportunity make the space your own. A newer, spacious main-level primary suite provides added convenience, featuring a private bathroom with a jetted tub and walk-in closet. Features like the main level laundry and a convenient mudroom make everyday living a little easier. The living room flows nicely into the dining room, which features built-in cabinetry. Notice some of the original details throughout like the original woodwork, staircase railing, and built-in cabinets in the upstairs hallway. Upstairs, you'll find 3 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a bonus room off of one of the bedrooms that would make a great walk-in closet, office, exercise room, play room, etc. The home does need some cosmetic updating, making it a great opportunity for someone with a little vision to bring their own style and updates to the space. Vinyl siding and a metal roof offer added exterior appeal and durability. Outside, enjoy a nice covered front porch, a two-stall garage, and a quiet neighborhood setting. Best of all, you're just a couple of blocks from the movie theater and downtown shops and restaurants, while a nearby green space with river access is located right at the end of the street. If you're looking for a home with space, character, a great location, and room to add value, this one is worth a look!
