Looking for a move in ready, concrete block home? This is it! Freshly updated with new paint (inside and out), and new carpeting! This home combines classic character with modern convenience. The oversized primary suite provides a private retreat, complete with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. A dedicated office area with built-in shelving and a versatile bonus room offer endless possibilities for working from home, entertaining, or creating additional living space. The functional layout includes a bright living area, central heating and air conditioning, an attached utility room with washer and dryer hookups, and ample parking for multiple vehicles. Situated on a generous fenced in lot, the property offers plenty of outdoor space for relaxing, gardening, or future improvements just minutes to the river! Recent neighborhood infrastructure upgrades, including city water and sewer connections and newly paved roads, add even more value to this move-in-ready home.

What to check on this one

  • Verify roof age and get 4-point inspection quote immediately (home is 75 years old).
  • Confirm flood zone designation and obtain elevation certificate if in AE/VE.
  • Inspect plumbing for polybutylene or cast-iron; get licensed plumber's assessment.
  • Request HVAC system age, maintenance records, and current operational status.
  • Verify city water/sewer connection completion and confirm septic system abandoned.
  • Get pre-approval for wind-mitigation inspection; may unlock insurance discounts.

Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
