Description

This outstanding 2 bed, 2 bath ranch in the heart of University Place offers the ease of true one-level living with almost 1200 finished sq ft and laundry on the main floor, as well as a full height unfinished basement. Major mechanical updates including a newer A/C, furnace, and water heater provide peace of mind, while the rest of the home offers a great opportunity to make it your own and build equity over time. The functional layout flows comfortably, leading to a fully fenced yard perfect for entertaining, pets, or relaxing outdoors. Downstairs, the unfinished basement creates even more opportunity for added living space, storage, or future value. Located just minutes from Nebraska Wesleyan University, along with local coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping, this beautiful home blends convenience with long-term upside. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizing, or investor this is a great opportunity you won't want to miss. New Roof will be installed July 7th!
