About This Home
As of January 2020Everything you need for a great price! And look how low the taxes are! Three bedrooms and Two full bathrooms including a bedroom/ bathroom on the main level that could also double up as a play room or just a nice room with a full bathroom for lower level convenience. Big yard, plenty of parking, nice big shed for storage, a basement, and affordability all in a single home. Nice size porch and a mudroom for added convenience. Owner has spread a considerable amount of fresh paint, roof and mechanicals are newer and has the possibility of offstreet parking next to the shed right by the front door. Conveniently located to the highway yet close to, even walking distance, to lots of local restaurants, bars and playgrounds. There aren t many single homes in quiet suburban developments for under 150,000 because everybody is looking for them. So the sooner you get on this one, the better!
