About This Home
As of September 2012This home is across the street from the Wilson High School campus. A brand new roof was installed late in 2011, and the chimney was rebuilt. Real hardwood floors are throughout, and in good condition. The family room is a few steps down from the living room, has a working fireplace, and newer carpet. The powder room is nearby, and it has newer fixtures. In the rear is a covered patio, and the back yard is large and level. There's a basement under the living room/dining room area, and it could be finished as a very nice game room. It was most recently used for ping pong. Above the living room is an unfinished space that could become the 4th bedroom. New kitchen cabinets have been installed, and there are new granite countertops, tile backsplash and a new tile floor. Also, new stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Ceiling fans are in many rooms. This home is spacious and uncluttered, has central air, and is in a wonderful location.
