About This Home

As of September 2014

Spacious 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom bi-level sitting on a corner lot across the street from Myers Elementary. It has a nice eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances (that can stay), a very large living room, 3 large bedrooms on the main floor and a large 4th bedroom in the lower level. There's also a separate entrance downstairs which opens up so many possibilities in finishing off that section of the home. The home has a nice big yard with plenty of room for a garden, games, patios, pools, etc. Nice 24x24 detached garage at the end of an extra long, double wide driveway. Sellers are also providing a one year home warranty.
