About this home
Spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath two-story home offering a rare combination of space, privacy, and opportunity in a central location. Situated on an oversized ¾-acre lot, this property delivers a park-like setting with mature trees, a large fenced backyard, and a garden area—ideal for outdoor living, entertaining, or simply enjoying your own private retreat in the city.
Inside, the main floor features an open-concept layout with great flow between living, dining, and kitchen spaces. A main-level bedroom and full bathroom provide flexible living options, perfect for guests, a home office, or convenient single-level living. A bright 4-season room extends the living space year-round and opens to the back deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms and a second full bathroom, offering comfortable separation of space. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, all of which stay with the home.
Major updates have already been completed, including new siding (2023), new HVAC system (2023), updated electrical panel (2022), and a sewer line replacement to the street (2013), Radon Mitigation, giving peace of mind on big-ticket items.
With key improvements in place, this is an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to build sweat equity through cosmetic updates. Ideal for owner-occupants, investors, or anyone searching for a large lot, mature trees, and space to grow—properties like this are hard to find....
