Quaint Brick Rancher

2870 Orchard Ave., Grand Junction

This brick home has so much to offer!! Built in 1955, this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home has loads of potential. Most of the home has original hardwood floors with only the bathrooms and kitchen having linoleum. The big front yard is fully landscaped with grass and a mature tree for plenty of shade. A nice elevated brick planter along the covered front patio is a great place to plant colorful welcoming flowers. There is also a flower bed that runs the length of the driveway along the front yard fence. The back yard also has a big shade tree and plenty of flower beds to add a splash of color. There is a one car detached garage and this property can be bought with or without the vacant city lot next door. The vacant lot is 60' x 120' with all the utility taps paid and installed. There used to be a  mobile home on that lot and the city says a mobile home can be placed there on a permanent foundation.   There is an open ditch along Orchard that provides access to irrigation water and one share of Grand Valley Irrigation Company water comes with the purchase of the house.

The front entry opens into a beautiful spacious living room with gorgeous hardwood flooring and a huge window. This window provides awesome natural light to make the room feel bright and open.

A small comfortable dining area is tucked between the living room and kitchen. This area also has a large window for natural light.   An old linoleum flooring is in the dining area and needs updating.

The galley style kitchen includes an electric range/oven and under counter hot water heater.  The refrigerator is not included and has been removed.

A utility room, half bath and access to the back yard are just beyond the kitchen. 

The kitchen has an average sized window above the sink to a nice view of the beautiful back yard.

In addition to the half bath located off the kitchen, there is a full bathroom down the hall, situated between the three bedrooms. This bathroom has had some updating, but need a little more. The bathtub has been altered to allow handicapped access. There is a larger than average window providing lots of ample light on bright days.

From the living room you can go down the short hallway to the three bedrooms and full bathroom. The hallway and bedrooms all have hardwood floors. This floor has been covered with carpet for many years and is in great condition. The carpet was removed but the tack strip is still in place in the event the buyer would like to recarpet. The interior of the home was fully painted in February 2011.

This is a wonderful home for the first time homebuyer or investor. There is very little fix up needed to make this a very comfortable home. The driveway is shared with the vacant lot next door so owning both of them provides added control. The lot is suitable for building an additional residence, detached garage/workshop, or placing a mobile home for bonus income.

The sellers are offering possible owner financing to the right, qualified buyer. The terms would be 20% down, 3-5 year term with a 7% interest rate. The loan could be amortized on a 15 or 30 year scale to keep monthly payments low, with a balloon payment at the end of the term.

You must get inside to truly appreciate the charm of this home. Please call today to schedule a private showing.
