***HIGHEST & BEST by Mon @ 10:00*** You know how they say buy a car owned by a mechanic? How about a house? That tells you everything before you walk in. Every system, every fixture, every forgotten corner: addressed. Not polished for a photo, fixed because it could be. Nothing left hanging, nothing left for the next owner to discover the hard way! Three bedrooms. A fourth room that's whatever YOU need it to be: 4th bed, office, den, home gym, the place you finally put a Peloton you'll actually use! One full bath, with a tub, because baths are still a thing. Two separate living areas, so movie night and homework don't have to happen in the same room. The kitchen's been updated with a moveable island. Cook, host, or shove it against the wall and use it like a mechanic's tool chest, complete with drawers and kick plates! No garage yet. There's room to build one when you're ready, and at this price, you can be patient about it. Corner lot, tucked at the back of a quiet street, a block from the river (NO flood zone)! A house with nothing left to fix. That's not a small thing. That's tough to find at this price! River, parks, highways, and highly rated schools nearby!
