What will you make it? Bathroom nicely updated in 2006 & Kitchen flooring isn t even a year old. Refinished maple cabinets in kitchen could be mistaken for new. Vinyl siding was new in 06 or 07 & all new windows in 09. In 08, flat roof above garage was replaced. Do you see a big, side patio or a great opportunity to add onto the house there? The house is so well insulated, you could have gone without the new 2 ton AC in 11 & furnace in 12. The icing, or the main feature, depending on who you are is that all this sits on a huge, (over 13k sq ft) park like yard w/ alley access & carport. Hurry. Come home.
