About This Home

As of October 2022

Here is your two bedroom one bath must-see in Fairplain! Fresh landscaping and curb appeal updates have this feeling like home. Original hardwoods are tucked beneath the carpeted floors and the full basement gives you an opportunity for additional living space or storage. The open breezeway between the attached-garage leads to the spacious and private backyard. Autumn will be here before you know it and the recently updated furnace will have you ready, along with new water heater. Napier Park is only a short four block walk down the street.
