Incredible Value - Least Expensive Home in Town! Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch with endless potential, located in one of the most convenient and desirable areas in town. Nestled next to the river and just a short walk to downtown, the village green park, medowhill pool, the velodrome, popular restaurants, and both Meadowbrook Elementary and Northbrook Junior High School, this home offers the perfect combination of location, lifestyle, and value. Situated on a generously sized, fenced-in yard, this home is ideal for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or pets. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace in the family room, and great natural light throughout. The layout offers both comfort and flexibility, with plenty of space to make it your own. The roof is only 2 years old, giving you a great start on improvements. While the home needs work, it's being sold as-is, offering a fantastic opportunity for DIY buyers, investors, or those looking for a rewarding flip project. Whether you're looking for your next home, a smart rental investment, or a renovation opportunity, this property is bursting with potential in a location that can't be beat. Priced to sell fast - this is the best value in town!
