Description
Charming Ranch Retreat with Pool, Spacious Lot & Endless Potential Welcome to your opportunity to reimagine this classic 1958 ranch-style home, full of character and situated on an expansive lot on Rodney Street. With 1,860 square feet of heated living space—including a cozy sunroom for year-round enjoyment—this home offers comfort, space, and exciting potential. Step inside to discover a bright, oversized living room anchored by a warm gas-log fireplace, ideal for relaxing evenings. The small kitchen and adjacent dining room, positioned at the front of the home, present the perfect opportunity to create a stylish open-concept space—an ideal setup to combine both and make a stunning, modern gathering space. The price reflects the fact that the home may require personal choice upgrades. The spacious primary bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-sized bed and features a walk-in closet, as well as a full private bathroom. Two additional bedrooms provide flexible space for guests, hobbies, or working from home. A large den at the back of the house offers a second fireplace, creating a warm and inviting setting for entertaining or cozy nights in. From the den, access the French Doors, down two steps, and now you’re in the Pool Porchâ€! This three-season space features several amenities, including a pool table, an old phone booth, and a bar. This is a great place to unwind or entertain. Step outside to your private backyard oasis, complete with a sparkling (also heated) pool— perfect for summer fun or weekend lounging. The expansive backyard invites gardening, play, or future outdoor enhancements, all within the privacy of a well-sized city lot. A two-car garage, along with a third space for a workshop, completes the property. With natural gas heating, two fireplaces, and a solid layout, this home is a rare canvas for customization. All major systems are in solid working order, offering peace of mind to buyers. The updates needed are purely cosmetic, providing the perfect opportunity to personalize the space without the worry of costly mechanical repairs. Whether you’re ready to renovate or just looking for a home with charm and possibilities, this is the one to see!

The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns.
