About This Home

As of August 2012

Why rent? when you could own this warm & cozy 2 bedroom ranch. The seller has it staged to suit any taste. Much re-decorating throughout makes it even more appealing. For instance the roomy kitchen has new cabinets, counter, and laminated wood flooring. A nice size dining area is off to the side. The full size bath has been also recently updated. All the windows on the main level have been replaced with new vinyl windows, and in the basement new block windows have been installed. The clean basement has space for lots of storage. The water heater has recently been updated. You will surely enjoy the enclosed front porch for three seasons. Ideal home for the empty nester or young couple. Located across from Briggs Park.
