Agent Description

Whether you're looking for your first home, your next investment, or simply a place with room to grow, this affordable opportunity delivers flexibility that's hard to find at this price point. With 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms across two levels, the layout offers privacy and functionality for a variety of living situations.

Two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs are complemented by two additional bedrooms and a second full bath downstairs, making it ideal for roommates, guests, or anyone who appreciates extra space. The kitchen may be modest, but it offers everything needed to prepare home-cooked meals, save money, and build equity instead of paying rent.

The practical floor plan makes the most of every square foot while keeping maintenance affordable. Outside, the absence of a garage creates opportunity. The spacious yard provides a clean slate for future improvements, whether you envision a detached garage, workshop, additional storage, or even an ADU (subject to city approval).

Buyers with an eye toward future value will appreciate the possibilities. Priced at just $180,000, this home offers a rare chance to own a 4-bedroom, 2-bath property without stretching your budget. Whether you're looking to offset expenses with a roommate, add to your investment portfolio, or simply get more space for your money, this property deserves a spot at the top of your list. Opportunities like this don't last long.
