About This Home

As of September 2021

Three doors from Richmond Park! Richmond Park has trails, tennis courts, a sliding hill in the winter, a community swimming pool all summer, a fishing pond and lots more to enjoy. This cute starter or retirement home has a newer furnace, Central Air, a 50 year Sheriff Goslin shingled roof and a very finishable walkout basement with a daylight window that could help with finishing a third legal bedroom. There is a big front yard. All the kitchen appliances stay. This is just a wonderful home, in a great location, and at a very affordable price that is close to everything including the ice cream store! Come take a look!
