This open and bright 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2-story invites your finishing touches! Its price reflects its current condition. A large secluded loft with walk-in closet occupies the second floor, while all 3 bedrooms are on the main level. The extra-tall ceiling enhances the dimensions of the living room and dining space. The kitchen has tile countertops, dishwasher, stand-in stove, solid-wood cabinets, refrigerator, disposal, breakfast bar and lots of light. Check out the ''nearly new'' water heater in the 2-car garage.

Also notable is the leased Sunrun Solar system and Tesla battery backup, which will transfer to the new owner, designed to save energy and reduce utility costs.
