Featuring 3 bedrooms w/ 2 full bathrooms a spacious kitchen w/ eating area & a large dining room this home would be great for entertaining. The living room is 15x22 w/ fireplace and French doors leading to the relaxing deck. The backyard is about half an acre & is fenced in. This property is adjacent to land owned by the city that has a pond & is home for some beautiful wildlife you can watch from your deck. Additional features include both a 1 & 2 car detached garages & the 2 car garage has an overhang with fenced dog pen on the backside. The only reason this home is for sale is because the owner has to relocate for his job
