About This Home
Back on the market due to buyer job loss, no fault of the home. The bank inspection required no repairs and the appraisal came in over asking price, giving you peace of mind that this property is move-in ready and a great value.
For offers accepted by September 14, 2025, seller to give buyer $1,000 credit at closing for new washer and dryer.
This beautifully updated brick row home features 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 1,150 sq ft of well-designed living space. The open floor plan flows from the spacious living and dining areas into a large eat-in kitchen with plenty of cabinet space and a nearly new gas range (6 months old).
Fresh paint and brand-new luxury vinyl plank floors give the home a fresh, modern feel. Elegant crystal pendant chandeliers add a stylish touch to the living and dining areas. The bathroom has been updated with a new vanity and washstand, and the home is equipped with a new hot water tank, newer gas water heater, and efficient gas heating.
