Rare Opportunity on Auburn’s West Hill! Meticulously maintained and move-in ready, this 4-bedroom, 1.75-bath rambler sits on an expansive 17,000+ sq. ft. R-4 zoned lot, offering a rare combination of quality, space, and future potential. Pride of ownership is evident throughout with refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, a newer roof, and a thoughtfully designed single-level floor plan centered around a beautiful fireplace. The oversized lot is what truly sets this property apart.
