About This Home

As of August 2024

Adorable and Affordable! Updated 2 bedroom 1 bath Duplex is ready for a new owner. Very well maintained and long loved, this great home will fit lots of budgets, and with no HOA fee, becomes even more affordable. As you enter the spacious living room, the gleaming Pergo floors flow seamlessly to the hallway and kitchen. The eat-in kitchen is updated and includes all appliances, with views out the window to your private fenced back yard, with a large 16'x13' deck and new covered gazebo. The spacious owners suite and 2nd bedroom share an updated bathroom with tiled tub/shower combo. The full basement has the washer/dryer/utility sink, doubles the size of your home & offers tons of future possibilities. The 1/car garage with concrete drive finishes this perfect package. A new roof and siding in 2022 will give years of exterior maintenance, and the seller has replaced windows and HVAC during ownership also. Hurry in to see this great home and property before it is gone!
