About This Home
As of July 2024Looking for the charm of yesterday? You found it here! Cute and classic two bedroom/1 bath home with arched doorways, coved ceilings, and built-in niches. Step inside to hardwood flooring in the living room with large windows for plenty of natural light. Daily dining area with ceiling fan just off the updated kitchen. You’ll appreciate the maple cabinets (some with glass fronts), laminate countertops, pantry, plus space for an eat-in area, too. Two bedrooms and one bath complete the main level; built-in storage in the hallway. Laundry hook ups in the basement. Opportunity is knocking upstairs AND down in the basement; both areas are unfinished and offer loads of opportunity to finish for extra square footage or storage. Detached one car garage. Walking distance to parks, schools and the Mt. Mercy campus. Make this charmer yours!
