About This Home
As of August 2018This well maintained and recently renovated northeast side home at 242 Knapp St. is now available. Beautiful refinished hardwood floors on the main level. Cove ceilings, arched doorways, and decorative windows add to the charm. Great for families as bedrooms are large and comfortable. Basement has been epoxy coated and provides large amount of clean storage with washer and dryer. Windows and appliances were replaced in 2009. In addition, insulation was professionally blown into the walls and glass block windows were added, which minimizes winter heat bills. Electrical has been updated throughout. A 2-stall garage is present with an additional work shop/play room connected. Fenced in backyard. A new air conditioning unit was added in 2012. House is within walking distance to Riverside Park and Briggs Park/Pool. Please call or email to take a look today! "
