About This Home

As of November 2016

Sweet very clean ranch home on flat lot. Nice, large kitchen with dining area. Sliding doors to rear deck. Finished lower level gives you another 696 S.F. of living space. Wet bar makes it a great gathering place for parties and propane heat keeps it nice and cozy in the winter. Because of location, you have your choice of Antietam or Exeter Schools. Taxes, however, are paid to Antietam and the school is just a short walk from home. Yard shed remains and front yard double swing (as-is) may remain. Seller is offering a 1 yr. home warranty for buyers peace of mind. Property to be conveyed in "as-is" condition. Buyer is responsible for any repairs/remediations required.
