About this home
Bring your vision and a little elbow grease! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers plenty of potential for a buyer ready to make it their own. The main level originally featured three bedrooms, but two secondary bedrooms were combined to create one larger bedroom—offering the possibility of restoring the original layout if desired. The primary bedroom features convenient access to the Hollywood-style bath. Downstairs, a third bedroom includes a full bath and walk-out access, creating a flexible space for guests, a home office or additional living area. This home needs some updating and TLC, but it’s not a full-scale rehab—there’s a solid opportunity here to build equity while making improvements over time. Add in a finished walk-out lower level, fireplace, hardwood flooring, fenced yard, corner lot and 2-car garage, and there’s plenty to work with. Conveniently tucked away between I-70 and 40 Highway, with easy access to shopping, dining and everything Independence has to offer. Bring your ideas and make this one yours!
