Why start from scratch when you can move right in and make this home your own? This 3-bedroom, 1½-bath brick ranch offers comfortable one-floor living, nearly half an acre of property, and a great west-side Painesville Township location just one street from Mentor! Fresh paint, brand-new carpeting, updated kitchen cabinets and countertops, and improvements to the main bathroom make this home ready for immediate occupancy. But here's where things get interesting! Wide stairs lead to a full basement where the seller has already framed and installed drywall for a possible fourth bedroom or office, spacious bathroom, and additional living area. The drywall still needs taping, finishing and painting, giving the next owner the opportunity to complete the space to their liking. Outside, a wood-fenced backyard provides privacy and plenty of room for pets, along with a roofed patio over a concrete pad with plumbing rough-ins for a toilet, sink and vent at the northwest corner. Originally planned with a future in-law suite in mind, this space offers intriguing possibilities. Add an attached two-car garage, a roof replaced in 2014, and immediate occupancy, and you've got a home that's ready to enjoy today with plenty of potential for tomorrow!
