This home is a perfect fit for someone who wants a structurally sound home in a quiet neighborhood. Does it need some elbow grease?? It certainly does however, there are many costly items that it doesn't need. All the exterior doors, including the patio door, and windows are newer. The roof will not cause you concerns because it is metal. The porch entering the house has been redone and is solid. Vanity in bathroom, lower level bathroom taps and kitchen taps have all been replaced. Living room, hall, bathroom and kitchen floors are all newer and in great shape. These are some big ticket items off your upgrade budget. Now on to the pretties ! Plan on painting throughout and replacing the bedroom carpets. These are the decor items that allow you to put your look together. Fresh paint and a dishwasher in the kitchen and you are good to go! The basement does have a nice bright family room and there's still more space to develop. Outside - the siding can use a scrub and with it being aluminum, it'll takes paint very well should you decide a new colour is in order. A few plantings and you will have instant curb appeal!
