Move in and enjoy the updates, with room to build equity downstairs! This three-bedroom bungalow offers updated main-level living and an unfinished basement with a head start toward finished space. A partially covered front deck opens into an open living room that flows into an eat-in kitchen. Granite countertops, tile backsplash, a Bosch gas range, updated appliances, and a new sink with a coil-spring faucet complement the open shelving. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, paint, and updated doors and trim carry through the main level. All three bedrooms are on the main floor, along with a full bathroom featuring an updated toilet, vanity, showerhead, and illuminated vanity mirror. One bedroom includes a closet and a sliding door to the back deck, where replaced deck boards and two sets of stairs lead to the fully fenced yard. Built in 1981, the home features exterior paint completed within the past few years and gutters and downspouts replaced last year. Downstairs, an installed egress window, bathroom plumbing rough-in, and partially completed framing and insulation offer a starting point for a potential fourth bedroom, second bathroom, and flexible living space, subject to applicable permits and requirements. A shower, toilet, vanity, and additional insulation and drywall are already on-site. Basement completion before closing may be negotiated as part of an acceptable offer. Currently operating as an Airbnb, the home offers negotiable furniture and household items.
