It has a comfortable floor plan and some great features already in place, while leaving plenty of room for your own ideas, style, and a little elbow grease. Features include: Bamboo engineered wood flooring, a separate dining area, a laundry room that is so large you can fit an extra freezer or permanently set up your ironing board (if you still use one of those) and a primary bedroom with a great walk-in closet. And here's the good news: some of the big-ticket items have already been taken care of! The metal roof is approximately 8 years old, the AC approximately 3 years old, and the gas water heater approximately 3–4 years old. The bathrooms are ready for an update, and there are some sheetrock repairs, a few interior doors that have seen better days, and a little exterior wood rot here and there. Closet flooring is not installed but the extra flooring is at the house and waiting for someone to put it to good use. Do a little updating, add your own touches, and you've got the opportunity to turn this into something special without starting from the ground up. This could be a great fit for a first-time buyer or anyone looking for a home where a few personal touches can make it feel just right.
