Opportunity knocks! This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sits on a spacious 0.24-acre lot and offers endless possibilities. Whether you're looking to renovate, add a basement suite, build a carriage house, or develop a 4-plex—no rezoning required—this property is full of opportunity. The home has solid bones and is ready for your ideas. With some updates and vision, it can become a fantastic investment or family home. Features include new perimeter drains, new driveway, a large fenced yard with a gazebo, an entertainment-sized deck, dead end street and plenty of parking.
