Built in 1975, the property has solid bones and just needs some cosmetic updates to shine again. A new roof was installed in 2024, providing peace of mind for homeowners or investors alike.

The home features generously sized bedrooms, a functional floor plan, and an abundance of natural light. Its layout offers flexibility for residential use or conversion to meet ALF or business setup needs. Additionally, the property is zoned for access to the local community center, which offers a wide array of amenities—including a pool, fitness center, recreational areas, and more—all for just $5 per month.
