About This Home

As of April 2016

Charm, Quality, Grace, Elegance, Comfort, Beauty.... All qualities you wouldn't even dream to find in a home priced less than $150,000... Right?! Well look no further than 1253 Russell and I promise this is not a dream. You truly can have it all in a neat tidy package at an affordable price. A great first impression is made with a freshly landscaped exterior and redone front porch. Inside you'll find quality finishes throughout. The living and dining rooms boast Warm Espresso Bamboo flooring, plenty of recessed lighting, and an abundance of windows. As you move to the rear of the home find a tastefully redone eat-in kitchen which includes Tuscany cabinetry, granite counters, SS appliances, tile backsplash, and more! Upstairs you'll find three nice sized bedrooms and a full bath. If you didn't already have enough space there's a massive third floor to provide a fourth bedroom. Last but certainly not least to mention is the comfort that a new central heat & AC package will provide!
