About This Home

As of April 2021

Nice floor plan on this 1 1/2 story home. Living room has nice gas fireplace, access to screen porch and dining room. Loads of charm in the kitchen, that has been updated in the past. Large bedrooms upstairs, lots of storage. Main floor has 1/2 bath. Fenced rear yard and 2 car garage-with a little elbow grease this could be a great home!
