About This Home

As of September 2020

Toss in a large finished basement playroom, a dedicated office plus SEPARATE sunroom, private outdoor deck with patio and a detached 3 car garage and you have a home of incredible value. But wait, the property also includes a completely separate 1000 sq ft 1bed/1.5 bath charming cottage that has a current rentalsa for $3,250/mo (07/01/20-06/30/21) or could be used as an amazing in-law apartment.
