About This Home
As of May 2014From the moment you walk through the door of this 3Br 1 Bath house, you will know this is your next home. With a perfect view of the Pagoda, you can sit back and take in the beautiful scenery right from your front porch. But wait, it gets better! Open the front door and you will notice the original hardwood floors throughout the entire house. You will also notice that the house has central air! That's right no need for window units in this house. The kitchen is modern and stylish. You will notice the hardwood floors as you make your way upstairs. The upper level has 2 bedrooms and a large walk in bathroom with lots of space and is great condition. The third floor has the 3rd bedroom. As you make your way to the basement, you will notice that the full basement has tile floors. Pride of ownership is evident in this house. The backyard is neatly landscaped. All you have to do is move in.
