With 5 true bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this property is much larger than it appears and offers a flexible layout ideal for extended households, multigenerational living, or buyers seeking space and opportunity in a well-established neighborhood. The home features a traditional front elevation, covered entry, and a welcoming feel. Inside, the main floor opens to a large living room filled with natural light from oversized front windows. Hardwood floors flow into a formal dining room that offers plenty of space for entertaining or daily meals. The kitchen, located at the rear of the home, features a practical layout with direct access to the backyard and patio. While the finishes throughout are dated, the home is clean and well cared for, offering a blank canvas for future improvements. With the right vision, this space can be transformed into something truly special. Two bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main level, perfect for guests or one-level living.
