About This Home

As of April 2025

Come check out this rare find in the Valley Junctions area! This 4 bedroom home sits on just shy of an acre of land! Large living area, incredible dining space and an additional 5th room that can be used as an office. The driveway is newly poured and has plenty of space to offset there not being a garage. This backyard is where it's all at though, a huge deck to enjoy the peacefulness and a yard that has endless amounts of options! This home does not lack space so make sure to set up an appointment to see it for yourself.
