About This Home

These sellers did something special with this property when they purchased it almost 6 years ago. They turned a small, 3 bed, 1 bath house into a very livable 3 bed, 2 bath home with a master suite at the back of the house! The hardwood floors are still in place in the original footprint. There is a new metal roof in place, and the back yard is MOSTLY fenced. There is still a concreate pad where there used to be a garage if the new owner wanted to add it back.
