About This Home

As of December 2020

$10,000 PRICE IMPROVEMENT! This Brick Ranch home is on a beautiful tree lined street with many brick and well maintained homes. It sits on a corner lot and there is plenty of room for a garden. You'll love the convenience of the attached two car garage. The owner is unsure of the finished basement area but there is a non-conforming bedroom, large family room, laundry room and a shower and toilet in the lower level. The roof was just replaced and the home has great curb appeal. Please allow two hour notice as the home owner works from home.
