The home itself is ready for transformation. 3 Beds on main level, including primary suite, additional 3 bedrooms 1 bath and flex/bonus space downstairs. Flooring, kitchen, and bathrooms offer a blank canvas for remodeling and customization, making this an incredible option for investors, multigenerational living, student housing possibilities, or buyers wanting to build equity in a premier location. Outside, the oversized driveway, expansive corner setting, and large detached garage create flexibility rarely found in this price range , ideal for hobbies, storage, additional vehicles, workshops, or future creative use.
