About this home
If you’ve been waiting for an updated single-family home under $300K, this is it! Located in Essex, this move-in ready property offers comfort, space, and major upgrades already completed for you.
Step inside to find luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, creating a seamless, modern look that’s both stylish and low maintenance. With both bedrooms conveniently located on the main level, the layout makes everyday living easy — ideal for first-time buyers or anyone looking to downsize to true one-level living.
You’ll appreciate the important updates that provide long-term peace of mind, including new plumbing, updated electrical, and basement waterproofing. Even better — the roof, HVAC system, and water heater are all less than 10 years old, so the big-ticket items are already handled.
The huge walkout basement is ready for your vision. Finish it to add even more living space, create the ultimate rec room or home office, or simply enjoy the extra storage.
Outside, the almost ¼-acre lot offers space you don’t often find at this price point. The yard is fully fenced and beautifully landscaped with established perennials that will bloom year after year. Plus, the driveway fits 5+ cars — perfect for guests, hobbies, or multiple drivers.
Updated, spacious, and affordably priced — single-family homes like this under $300K don’t come along often. Schedule your showing today!
