The boxy 1960s ranch style home reconstructed opening the living, dining, and kitchen into one large functional space.

I will probably rent for a while since I am in the fine-dining component of the service industry, and need to solidify quality employment before purchasing anything.

There were a number of large 2/1 properties built here, with large living rooms, dining rooms, and sunrooms -- there have been conversions.

Things I have never had a tenant care about (at least that they communicated): age/type of windows; countertop material; floor material that's not carpet; age/brand of appliances; plants/type of landscaping; color of house exterior; roof type/material; fence type/material; no garage; no dining room.

Top to bottom cosmetic renovation on the inside, including removing a wall between dining/kitchen, refacing and re-arranging existing oak cabinets, new farm sink and custom base cabinet, new tile backsplash, custom island, quartz counters, and extending new hardwood floors into kitchen.

I think it could be a good long-term investment, should that area begin to draw young people looking for easy access to the entertainment/dining/proximity to downtown that the area provides.

BACK TO FRONT LIVING ROOM/DINING ROOM COMBO WITH CATHEDRAL CEILING, GAS FIRERPLACE, OPEN STAIRWELL, AND SLIDING GLASS DOORS TO PATIO.

The main level also has a large Living Room with gas fireplace, spacious eat in kitchen and a formal dining room.
