About This Home

As of July 2026

Wow what a yard! This home includes a double lot and has alley access on the side giving even more space between the neighbors. The yard is fenced and the two car garage is an additional benefit. The front entry leads to the living room and the dine-in kitchen faces the front of the home. The two bedrooms and remodeled bath are convenient. The basement offers more space with a large family room and an extra room that once was used as a bedroom. Perhaps it may be ideal for you to use as an office or playroom. There is also a 3/4 bath in the basement. Call today for your private tour.
