Opportunity awaits in this spacious two-story home offering nearly 1,700 square feet of finished living space, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms in a fantastic neighborhood within the highly desirable SE Polk School District, where kids can walk to Centennial Elementary. Conveniently located near the Spring Creek Sports Complex, parks, and everyday amenities, this home offers an incredible opportunity to make it your own. Many of the big-ticket improvements have already been completed, including a new roof (2022), HVAC system (2024), water heater (2018), windows replaced within the last 10 years, and newer stainless steel kitchen appliances. Inside, you'll find a spacious kitchen with an adjoining dining area, a welcoming living room featuring gorgeous built-ins and a cozy gas fireplace, a gen erous primary suite with dual sinks and a private ensuite, plus a patio overlooking the partially fenced backyard. The unfinished lower level already includes an egress window, making it easy to add additional finished living space in the future. Being sold as-is, the home will require new siding and cosmetic interior updates, making it an ideal opportunity for buyers looking to build equity. Ask your lender about renovation financing options, including an FHA 203(k) loan or other renovation loan programs that may allow eligible buyers to finance both the purchase and qualifying improvements.
