About This Home

As of November 2013

Just when you thought it was impossible to find a house in good condition that you could afford ..the impossible becomes possible. Purchased in late spring as a foreclosure, this home has undergone a transformation worthy of a fairy tale. Where a house with beat-up interiors(including holes in the floors) once existed, now a warm and inviting home sits. Located on a quiet street near the park and river , this home offers shiny hardwood floors, freshly renovated rooms, new bathroom and refurbished kitchen with gorgeous ceramic tile work. New roof , newer windows, mechanics in excellent condition. Home includes 3 bdrms on second level as well as guest bdrm/office on 1st floor. Updated eat-in kitchen and formal dining . Lower level is unfinished, but offers potential. Front and back porches rebuilt. Garage. Light and airy yard that is perfect to landscape. The last time this developer rehabbed a house it sold within the first 2 days..don't miss out on your opportunity.
