About This Home

As of August 2020

Welcome Home! This wonderful home has a large extended kitchen and it is filled with light. Super quiet and peaceful feel in this well-located home. House faces South but front door faces East. Such a charming home you won't want to miss it. Lots of potential but very livable right now. Nice yard spaces in 3 sides of the house. You won't be disappointed! Two baths with showers over tub.
