This freshly renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers about 1,228 sq ft of finished living space and has been updated from top to bottom — move-in ready with none of the deferred-maintenance headaches. Recent improvements include fresh paint throughout, a new roof, all-new electrical, a brand-new kitchen with a new refrigerator and range, and a fully updated bathroom.
All three bedrooms and both bathrooms are on the main floor for easy single-level living. Below, a full basement (roughly 600 sq ft) gives you plenty of room for storage or projects, and the home includes a garage with convenient alley access. There's a utility area with washer/dryer hookups, so you can bring your own machines. Out back, the fully fenced yard is a standout — mature rose bushes, an established pear tree, and a cherry tree make it a real gardener's space and a private spot to relax come spring and summer.
