About This Home

As of November 2020

Talk about value! This home has it all! This massive 5 bedroom home boasts over 2500 square feet. When you walk through the front door you'll find a comfortable living room, that leads right to an updated kitchen. Two bedrooms and a full bath round out the main floor. Upstairs is the real show stopper, though. Three oversized bedrooms, the second full bath and a MASSIVE rec room that will blow you away, cap off the upstairs. Attached garage and cozy back yard make this a no brainer.
