About this home
This solid brick ranch is an opportunity waiting for vision. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, the home has been lovingly lived in and largely untouched for years — a true time capsule ready for its next chapter. Original hardwood floors run through much of the main level, and large windows bring in natural light that highlights the home’s underlying character.
The kitchen and bath reflect their era, giving buyers a clear canvas to renovate to their own style rather than paying for someone else’s updates. Whether you are an owner-occupant ready to build equity or an investor looking for a manageable project, this property offers strong potential through thoughtful improvements and sweat equity.
Outside, a fenced backyard shaded by mature trees creates a private outdoor space for pets, gardening, or relaxing evenings. The attached garage, durable brick exterior, and established neighborhood add practical value and long-term appeal.
Being sold as-is. Bring your ideas, your tools, and your imagination — this is a home where effort can truly translate into equity.
