Opportunities like this have become increasingly rare in N Rome! Proudly offered for the first time after generations of one-family ownership, this 4-bed, 2 full bath ranch presents an exceptional chance to put down roots in a desirable location for under $200k! Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout much of the home, ready to be brought back to their original beauty with refinishing. The spacious living room is filled with natural light thanks to a large picture window and is anchored by a cozy wood burning fireplace. The kitchen could benefit from a fresh update, but offers an abundance of space and functionality, along with a sliding door leading to the freshly painted deck and fenced "doggy zone" in the backyard. The primary bedroom enjoys the convenience of an attached full bath, while additional storage can be found both in the basement and in the attic, which is easily accessible via stairs from the garage. Additional updates include NEW Central A/C (2024), updated water heater (2021), and updated 150-amp electrical service. Roof is approximately 10 years old. Situated on a generous 0.41-acre lot, the cedar shake exterior offers a unique opportunity for buyers to customize the home's appearance with the paint color of their choice and truly make it their own. Conveniently located near Ridge Mills Elementary, shopping, grocery stores, and just minutes from Griffiss Tech Park, the location is hard to beat. As an added bonus, Rome city taxes include unmetered water, public sewer, garbage collection, and weekly green waste pickup!
