Property Description
A Small Town with a Big Heart Welcome to Germantown, a community where history isn't just in the books-it's in the streets, the traditions, and the friendly "hello" from your neighbors. Known for its rich heritage and deep-rooted sense of togetherness, Germantown offers the peaceful, secure lifestyle of a small town while keeping you connected to everything you need. The Canvas for Your Dream Home Located on a quiet street, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is a true "diamond in the rough" waiting for the right visionary to polish it. Whether you are an ambitious DIYer, a first-time homebuyer looking to build sweat equity, or an investor seeking a high-potential rental, this property is your blank canvas. Main Level: A functional layout with three bedrooms that offer great natural light. The Lower Level: The full basement is a game-changer. Currently a clean slate, it's waiting to be transformed into a cozy family room, a home gym, a workshop, or the ultimate "man cave" or "she-shed." The Great Outdoors: Situated on a generous .27-acre lot, the backyard is a rare find. From an expansive garden and a playground to a custom deck for summer BBQs, there is room for a myriad of possibilities to create your own private oasis. Why This Property? Opportunities to own a piece of Germantown at this price point don't come often. With a solid foundation and plenty of character, this home allows you to stop renting and start investing in your future. Bring your tools, your paint swatches, and your imagination-and turn this house into the talk of the town.
