About This Home

As of November 2017

Large private lot surrounded by woods. Extra kitchen in lower level which would make a great in-law apartment. 6 total bedrooms! 2 private decks. Heated over-sized 2 stall garage. Very nice landscaping with perennials. Seller plans on leaving deer blind in woods behind back yard. There is one wall in the lower level that could be easily removed and eliminate the sixth bedroom but make a much larger family room. Sellers are very motivated! If you are interested in equity, this is it.
