About This Home

As of September 2025

This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom duplex is very well maintained. As you step inside, you'll immediately notice the LVP flooring throughout and the neutral wall colors. The living room offers a cozy space to relax at the end of the day, while the dining room is perfect for meals and game nights. The kitchen is open enough to keep you connected without feeling isolated. Across the hall from the kitchen, you'll find a full bathroom and washer/dryer connections. The first bedroom at the end of the hall features a walk-in closet, while the main bedroom on the right has two closets, a full bathroom, and backyard access. Through the main bedroom, there's a small covered porch with a storage room and a generously sized backyard. Conveniently located in the heart of town, this home is close to shopping, restaurants, and bases.
