About This Home

As of April 2023

This home needs some TLC but is a good value with what it has to offer. Assessors office has it down as a 3 bedroom. There are 2 bedrooms on the main level and then there is a partial finished attic that they have as the 3rd bedroom. Nice sized living room. Kitchen on the small side but has a dining area for table and chairs and some additional storage. There is also a back family room for additional space. The basement is only half the sized but the washer and dryer hookups are there along with the mechanicals. This property has a 3 car garage 24x30 that has been a great man space. It has been heated by a wood stove in the past. There is space to turn around so getting out on E University is not bad.
