AFFORDABLE, FUNCTIONAL & FULL OF POSSIBILITY! Homes at this price point are almost impossible to find, making this an excellent opportunity for buyers looking for value and the chance to make a property their own. Or maybe you're looking to dip your toe into property rentals? This is a completely affordable way to kick off your portfolio. Being sold AS IS, this home is fully functional and offers several important updates already in place, while leaving room for cosmetic improvements and personal touches. Although the public record shows just 864 square feet, there is considerably more usable potential than the number suggests. The DRY BASEMENT features a ground level exterior walkout, a finished room, and a second full bathroom with all major components present, though the bathroom needs some finishing work. With its private entrance, the lower level could make an ideal guest space, home office, hobby area, or flexible living quarters. The main level offers a functional kitchen equipped with an electric stove, refrigerator, and microwave, while a high-efficiency forced-air gas furnace, 2022 water heater, and durable metal roof provide some of the big ticket items buyers can appreciate. Pull down attic stairs provide convenient access to additional storage, and new carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are installed on every floor. Centrally located within a stone's throw of the ice arena, public swimming pool, restaurants, grocery shopping, and everyday conveniences, this is a property where price, location, and potential come together. It may need updating, but it is ready to function today... and for the buyer willing to put in some work, there is plenty of opportunity to unlock even more value. Adding to the value & affordability, the LOW TAXES INCLUDE: Unmetered public water, city sewer, weekly trash & green waste pick up! A practical home, an affordable price, and the kind of opportunity that is getting harder and harder to find.
