About This Home

As of December 2017

This home needs some TLC and updating and we have priced it accordingly. It would be a great starter home for someone that want's to build some instant equity or perfect for an investor with minimal costs.

Ceiling tile is included to repair ceiling in master bedroom that happened prior to the roof replacement. The bathroom and kitchen needs some updating as well. If you love wildlife and birds, then you will love the oversized deck on the back of the home. Plumbed for natural gas grill - No more having to exchange LP tanks! Camper does not stay - Home is NOT for rent.
