About This Home

As of July 2022

This 3 bedroom ranch in Wilson schools needs a little loving and some cosmetics to make it shine. Opportunity is knocking for those of you looking for an affordable home and the ability to see the potential. There is no basement-it is on a slab and all rooms are on one level so perfect for someone looking for one floor living. The living room is a generous size and is open to the kitchen and dining area. Newer flooring has been installed in the kitchen and the living room. All appliances remain in as-is condition. It has a great patio and fenced back yard with a nice shed for storage of your lawn tools. The driveway is a bit steep so please take that into consideration. It is a stone's throw from the Red Caboose Park and there is a school bus stop right at the corner. Possession will depend on the lender and their timeliness.
