Property Description

Bring your ideas and make this Ripley property your own! Situated on a large L-shaped corner double lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers plenty of potential for an owner-occupant, rental, or investment property. The home features approximately 1,488 square feet of finished living space, with an eat-in kitchen, separate dining room, living room, and two porches. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a generously sized primary bedroom, along with a full bath. The basement provides additional utility, laundry, and storage space. Outside, the expansive side and backyard areas provide plenty of room to enjoy the double lot, while a detached single-car garage and good-sized storage shed offer useful space for vehicles, tools, and outdoor equipment. This fixer-upper is a great opportunity for someone looking to build equity, renovate for their own use, or add another property to an investment portfolio. Conveniently located in Ripley with access to city-style amenities while benefiting from township taxes. • OFFERS: Please allow 72 hours for a response to any offers.
