Positioned on a, flat 0.34-acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac, this 3-bedroom (2 up, 1 down), 2-bath home is waiting for its next chapter. Good bones and a great location offer incredible upside for buyers looking to renovate and customize a long-term family residence. Unbeatable convenience - just minutes to VSS, Hillview Elementary and all the good stuff you find at the south end of Vernon. Viewing appointments are limited to Saturday & Sunday mornings between 10:00 and 12:30. The home is currently set up as a rental with a 2 bedroom suite upstairs and 1 bedroom suit downstairs (shared laundry). If you’re looking for your next home makeover project this could be the one.
