About This Home

As of May 2013

Owner currently uses the upstairs as a rental unit. 2 bedrooms, bath, formal dining, large kitchen with all appliances. Upstairs can almost make the payment. It's been a rental since she has owned it in 1948. Very well kept and maintained. Beautiful front enclosed porch 24x10 in size. There is also an 8x10 foyer in the rear of the home that provides heated & enclosed access for both units. Would make fabulous 5 bedroom 2 bath home if buyer did not want an upstairs rental. Nice lot, 300 ft. in depth. There are 2 refrigerators for the 2 kitchens, 1 up and 1 down, one dishwasher down, 2 range ovens and 1 microwave down. Washer and dryer stay. Large,clean basement with lots of storage space. Possession could possibly be day of closing if needed.Lots of paved parking.
