Property Description

Don't judge this one from the curb! Step inside and you'll find a home that's already had many of the updates you're looking for. This ranch offers new flooring, fresh paint, an updated kitchen, and updated bathrooms, giving you a great head start without taking on a full renovation. There are still a few finishing touches to make it your own, but they're projects that can easily be tackled over time after moving in. Outside, you'll find a manageable lot that's just the right size without spending your entire weekend maintaining it, plus a detached two-car garage for parking and storage. And the location? Hard to beat. Conveniently located right off I-69, making your commute and everyday errands a breeze. A little exterior love could go a LONG way here. Bring your ideas, add some curb appeal, and make this one yours!
