About this home
Generously sized 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath home located in WL Ellwoods Addition. This property is truly a diamond in the rough, offering great potential for the right buyer. The home has been used as a rental for many years, and the owners are unsure of the ages of the mechanical systems or the roof. Not your typical Cape Cod-style home, the layout begins with a spacious living room that flows into the dining area. The eat-in kitchen features oak cabinets and a large window that brings in abundant natural light. Adjacent to the kitchen is a flexible space perfect for an office or play area. A convenient first-floor laundry room (dryer only) sits near the back entrance, along with a half bath. The first-floor bedroom offers the option of a main-level primary suite. Upstairs, you'll find a loft area ideal for an office, den, or playroom, along with two nicely sized bedrooms and a full bath. The basement, accessed from the exterior rear of the home, provides useful storage space. Outside, the fully fenced backyard includes a covered patio and a one-car detached garage (no opener). New doors have been installed throughout. Composite style siding. The home will benefit from fresh paint and new carpet, making it a great opportunity for someone willing to put in a bit of sweat equity. Ideal as a first-time home or investment property.
