MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED. SELLER IS REQUESTING HIGHEST AND BEST DUE TUESDAY 9/2/25 6PM ~~SOLD AS-IS - BRAND NEW ROOF FROM RESPONSIVE ROOFING 8/2025 - BRAND NEW GUTTERS FROM RESPONSIVE ROOFING 8/2025 - NEW EXTERIOR PAINT 8/2025 - LOWER LEVEL NEW INTERIOR PAINT 8/2025 - NEWER (5-6 yrs old) LVP FLOORING IN LOWER LEVEL - If you've been searching for a spacious, affordable home in a well-established neighborhood with plenty of potential, this could be the one! This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath split-level home offers over 1,500 sq. ft. (+/-) of living space with a functional and versatile layout. Upon entering, you're welcomed by a split staircase that leads you to two distinct levels of living. Upstairs, you'll find a bright and comfortable living room with beautiful hardwood floors that add warmth and character, along with all three bedrooms conveniently located on the same level. Heading downstairs, the home opens up into a generous kitchen and dining area, paired with a laundry space for everyday convenience. The kitchen is a true standout, designed with both function and style in mind. A large center island provides plenty of room for meal prep, casual dining, or entertaining guests. The newer refrigerator and commercial-grade stove with a high-powered vent system make it ideal for home cooks who love to prepare meals in a professional-style setting. Durable LVP flooring throughout this level ensures easy maintenance and lasting appeal. Other highlights include a 2-car garage for ample parking and storage, and a mature neighborhood setting with established trees that provide shade and a sense of community charm. The home is being sold as-is and does need some work and personal updates, but that creates an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to build sweat equity, investors seeking a rental or resale, or even someone wanting to downsize into a home they can truly make their own. Recent improvements add peace of mind as well: a brand-new roof and a window replacement are currently being installed by Responsive Roofing. Conveniently located close to schools, shopping, and parks, this home offers a balance of value, potential, and location. Whether you're a first-time buyer, investor, or simply looking for a home you can customize to your taste, this property is a solid find that's worth a closer look. ~~SELLER PREFERS QUICK CLOSE~~
