Located just blocks from public transportation, schools, shopping, dining, and the lake, this home sits right in the heart of convenience. Whether you're rebuilding, refreshing, or reimagining, the location alone provides a strong foundation for future value.

Marsha Green started her real estate career 21 years ago as a result of buying her first home. It was the lack of explanation and direction during that purchase that made her decide that she wanted to become a Realtor. And not just any Realtor! One who takes the time to explain the entire process to her buyers and sellers. One who patiently answers any and all questions. One who translates for her clients (in non-real estate language) what the attorney, lender, or home inspector is saying and
