About This Home

This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers great potential with many major updates already completed. Within the past 5 years, the roof, gutters, deck boards, and vinyl windows have all been replaced. A spacious 2.5-car garage with 220v provides plenty of room for projects or storage, while the large backyard with newly planted grass and a 15' x 38' deck is perfect for outdoor living. Inside, you'll find central A/C, a wood-burning fireplace, and a convenient washer/dryer closet with hookups in the kitchen. The home does need new flooring and a finished bathroom-giving you the opportunity to add your own style and value while making it truly yours.
