Listing broker remarks

This updated home offers a refreshed interior with improvements throughout. The kitchen has been upgraded, along with the full bathroom, and an interior wall was opened to create a more open and inviting layout. Beautiful new wood flooring runs throughout the main level, adding warmth and character to the home. New stairs provide convenient access to the basement, offering excellent potential for additional storage, a workshop, or future expansion. The basement is equipped with central HVAC vents for heating and air conditioning and may also be a potential candidate for an ADU, subject to local zoning, permitting, and approval requirements. Step outside to enjoy the spacious, fully fenced backyard, offering a private outdoor setting with plenty of room for play, pets, entertaining, and relaxing. Ideally located in Lancaster with convenient access to shopping, dining, major routes, and outdoor recreation. A great opportunity to make this well improved home your own!— Vega Realty, LLC
