This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath brick ranch offers a great opportunity to own in a quiet neighborhood just minutes from Saint Joe. While the interior could us some TLC and cosmetic updating, many of the big-ticket items have already been completed. Recent improvements include a brand-new A/C unit, newer furnace, a new roof and gutters, reworked septic system, and partially waterproofed basement.
