About this home

The listing, in the seller's words

Full of character and possibility, this classic brick ranch offers the kind of opportunity that's becoming harder to find. Situated on an oversized lot, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home features a spacious living area and hardwood floors throughout much of the home, including beneath the carpeting. The attached 1-car garage and the oversized detached 2-car garage, with electrical service and loft space, provide incredible flexibility for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or future expansion. Many of the major improvements have already been completed, including the HVAC system, roof, windows, water heater, garage doors, and more, allowing the next owner to focus on making the home their own. Solidly built with great bones and endless potential, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss. Welcome home!

Why we show no algorithmic estimate.

National AVMs misprice homes whose value drivers they can't see. Instead: the sourced assessment above, the carrying cost, real price history, and honest comparables below.
