About This Home

As of August 2013

This adorable home was lived in and loved for 25 yrs by my beloved sister & brother-in law, Mark & Marilyn. Since their recent passing our brother and his wife have worked hard to get the home ready for sale. It has been repainted on all 3 levels and the main floor bath has been completely redone. The wood floors upstairs are in beautiful condition, but main floor wood floors could use refinishing or carpeting. Also, the kitchen needs new vinyl or other flooring of your choice. This house is much more spacious than it appears, having 2 main floor bedrooms plus 2 more upstairs. There are an amazing amount of storage closets & cupboards throughout. The basement is clean w/ nice family room w/ wet bar & small refrigerator (no main floor refrigerator is present), laundry room w/washer/dryer
