Welcome to this spacious home in the desirable Hessian Camp neighborhood, conveniently located near schools, parks, shopping, and everyday amenities. The main level offers a comfortable living room, separate dining room, and a kitchen with stainless steel appliances and direct access to the backyard. A first-floor primary bedroom and a versatile bonus room provide flexible living options for a home office, laundry room, or additional living space. Recent improvements include a new 200-amp Siemens electrical service (2025), updated copper and PEX plumbing (2025), an A.O. Smith gas water heater (2024), professionally completed chimney improvements (2026), and a professionally soft-washed roof (2026). Following the roof cleaning, observations noted no visible missing shingles, exposed decking, or other obvious visible roof defects, with the roof appearing structurally intact from those observations. Upstairs features additional bedrooms and an updated full bathroom. The unfinished basement includes an egress window, fireplace, and a partially completed bathroom renovation, offering excellent potential for future finished living space. Outside, enjoy a gazebo, a 24 foot above ground swimming pool, a usable backyard, and off-street parking for two SUVs. This move-in-ready home is being sold as-is and has been competitively priced to reflect deferred maintenance and future improvements. With several major mechanical and exterior system updates already completed, including electrical, plumbing, chimney, water heater, and roof maintenance, the remaining improvements provide an excellent opportunity for the next owner to customize the home while building equity. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, investor, or someone looking for a home with long-term potential, this property offers exceptional value without paying top-of-market pricing. Seller has relocated and is motivated to sell. Documentation of recent improvements are available. Schedule your private showing today.
