Year Built

Tucked onto a corner third-acre lot in one of Troy’s most sought-after pockets — a neighborhood of mature, canopied trees and generous spacing between homes, where impressive newer construction continues to reshape the streetscape and lift values along the way. This charming 3-bedroom bungalow lives comfortably, with a main-floor bedroom plus two bedrooms up, and sits inside the Blue Ribbon Wattles Elementary, Baker Middle, and Troy High boundaries — Wattles is within walking distance. Replacement vinyl windows run throughout, and outside you’ll find a cement patio and a deck made for outdoor living, garden space, a raised floor storage shed, and a detached 2-car garage with its own electrical panel. The big-ticket items are already handled: the roof on both house and garage was put on @ 7 years ago (2019), the sewer line to the street @ 7 years, the furnace @ 8 years, the A/C @ 15 years, and the crawl space was encapsulated @ 10 years ago. All appliances stay, washer and dryer included. With the land, the location, and the lasting quality already in place, it’s ready to enjoy as-is or reimagine as the neighborhood keeps trending upward. Buyer to verify all information; not warranted.
