About This Home

Three bedroom home in the City of Benton Harbor - remodeled of course, with the freshest of taste and colors. A completely new kitchen and a brand new furnace is in place, plus the city has replaced the main water line to the house. The exterior of the home has benefitted from all new vinyl siding and a new roof, all new windows and doors, all new gutters, facia, and soffit! The front is partially fenced; the only thing missing are the people. This is a Fannie Mae property.
