About This Home

As of October 2016

This is a great little house. Everything is ready for you, all you have to do is move in. Very nice and well kept with all appliances staying in this home, including the washer and dryer, for your added convenience. The dry basement gives you a great opportunity for extra room and storage. A lot of the basic updates by this owner with electrical and plumbing, etc. Stair access to a very unique finished attic room from the kitchen that would be great for a bonus area (not full room height). This home has a very nice covered deck that overlooks a large backyard. 2 sheds outside for extra storage. A lot of potential on this home for adding on or building a garage.
