Kitchen appliances along with the washer and dryer convey with the sale. Downstairs, the large 13' x 24' family room provides a second living space and direct interior access to the attached one-car basement garage. Additional unfinished basement space provides plenty of room for storage, tools, hobbies or a workshop, while attic storage gives you even more space for seasonal items and everything you don't need taking up your everyday living areas. Several major improvements have already been completed, including a new natural gas furnace and central A/C in 2026, new natural gas hot water heater in 2025, upgraded 200-amp electrical service, and an architectural shingle roof installed in 2018. And the possibilities here extend beyond the home itself. The property is located in Peters Township, which currently has no municipal zoning ordinance, potentially opening the door to additional future uses, including certain commercial possibilities, subject to any applicable regulations and permits. With four bedrooms, an oversized lot, major mechanical updates, multiple storage areas, NO HOA and an incredibly convenient location, this property offers a combination of space, flexibility and accessibility that's tough to find.
