About this home
This home has been completely reimagined since it last sold and now offers a rare combination of space, updates, and income potential. What was once a modest property has been thoughtfully transformed into a 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, making it ideal as a primary residence, long-term rental, or turnkey short-term/Airbnb investment.
Major systems have been upgraded throughout, including new central air, complete removal of knob-and-tube wiring with fully updated electrical, fresh paint on every surface, and new plumbing for the upstairs shower. All work has been done with an eye toward both comfort and durability. Roof new in '19, water heater new in '18, A/C new in '25, furnace unknown.
The nearly half acre lot features a large deck, above ground pool (new pump in '23), and shed all within a privacy fence (new in '19).
The home is currently operating as a successful Airbnb/short-term rental, with strong income potential of $3,000+ per month. Even better, the property can be sold fully furnished, making this a true plug-and-play opportunity for an investor or an owner-occupant looking for a move-in-ready home. All furnishings are new and coordinated, eliminating the time, cost, and hassle of setting up a rental from scratch.
Whether you’re looking for a spacious home, a furnished rental, or an income-producing property ready to go on day one, this one checks all the boxes....
