About This Home

As of February 2024

Seller will consider a generous credit either towards Buyers closing costs, prepaid HOA dues, or interest rate buydown! What a great location, tucked behind The Mercer!

Beautifully updated two bedroom, two story unit offers lots of light and a great "work from home" layout. Both baths recently updated and new carpet and paint just finished. This is a very clean home! HOA dues cover gas, water and trash! This same plan sold last year for $665,000!
