About This Home

As of February 2026

New big Price Reduction!! This home feels like country living in a great small town with city conveniences. It offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, laundry room, lots of storage, nice living room and a great kitchen with oak cabinets, new kitchen range and more. There is a great garden spot and a chicken house stays to have your own fresh eggs daily. The solar energy panels are one yr old and there is a 25 yr contract that transfers to a new owner. The payment is $265 a month but with the ac running 24/7 electric is only around $40 a month. Most of the home has new laminate flooring, new duct work, like new hvac system, water heater only 3 yrs old, new toilet in one of the baths, replacement windows, new back door and screen, new water spicket and outdoor plug in, new roof on the garage and so much more that its too much to list. Also sellers are adding some fresh paint touchups soon for future buyers!
