Property Description
Bring your vision, your paint swatches, and a little elbow grease - there is so much opportunity at 1426 Hanson! Located in Pleasant Hills and Unit 5 School District, this 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath walkout ranch is just steps from Sugar Creek Elementary - so close that driving there hardly makes sense! Shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences are just minutes away, while Pleasant Hills still offers the comfortable feel of an established residential neighborhood. The main level offers an open, airy flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen, plus main-floor laundry, a primary bedroom with private full bath, attached 2-car garage, and sliding doors leading to the deck. Downstairs, the walkout lower level adds a spacious family room with a sliding glass door to the backyard, 4th bedroom, full bath, and plenty of flexibility. A large unfinished storage/work area provides excellent storage now and potential for additional finished space in the future. Several major improvements have already been completed, including roof 2016, A/C 2019, furnace and water heater 2021, dishwasher and radon mitigation system in 2022, and roof-mounted solar installed in 2023. This home is priced to reflect its current condition and the cosmetic updates and repairs still needed, including carpet replacement, drywall repairs and painting, exterior wood/siding maintenance, and completion of portions of the lower level left unfinished following professional environmental remediation. The lower-level bath remains partially unfinished following that remediation. Leased solar system transfers with the property. Buyer must qualify with LGCY Power and assume the existing solar lease. Offered as-is. If you're the buyer who sees possibility where others see projects, this one is calling your name - bring your ideas, add your own style, and take advantage of a fantastic Pleasant Hills location, Unit 5 schools, and Sugar Creek Elementary just steps away while building equity in a walkout ranch with so much to offer! NOTE: Some photos have been virtually staged to illustrate furniture placement and potential use of the space. Furnishings and decor shown are not included in the sale. Original unstaged photos are also provided for reference. One lower-level bathroom image is a virtually reimagined renovation concept; construction would be required to achieve the design shown. Photo availability and display may vary by website, and not all listing photos may appear on every syndicated site.
