If you’ve been searching for a sound home at a good price (low taxes and utilities too), this 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch is perfect! The floor plan offers a spacious 12x14 living room and a 12x14 eat-in kitchen, both with original hardwood floors that also extend into two of the bedrooms. Built-in speakers are an added touch. The 8x8 tiled bathroom feels larger than most, with plenty of cabinet and counter space. Vinyl tilt-in windows make for easy maintenance all year long. Outside, you’ll find a level, privacy-fenced backyard with a patio and playset that can stay. The unfinished basement provides loads of storage and potential, while the backdoor entry from the carport and combination deadbolt at the front door add everyday ease. A roof of about twelve years and a zoned HVAC system give peace of mind that the essentials are already in place. Preventative maintenance by Bug Zero. Set in a walkable, bike-friendly location near the university, park, and local amenities, this home combines practicality, affordability, and lifestyle —an ideal choice for buyers who want a dependable home without stretching their budget.
