About This Home
As of August 2024This property was gutted and slowly rehabbed between 2014 and 2017. There's an open floor plan, and everything remains in great condition. The rehab included a new kitchen, new bathrooms, new electric, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, floors, and a French drain. The home features stainless steel appliances in the large kitchen, central A/C, a new half bath on the first floor, an easily accessible stacked washer/dryer, a huge back yard with a brand new fence for privacy, a French drain, ample closet space, two large bedrooms, and a large basement that can be finished or simply used for storage. The roof has been maintained to prevent leaks. Schedule your showing today!
