About this House

Nothing to fix, nothing to guess about — this one's done. Every inch of this home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt right: new electrical, new plumbing, new flooring, and a brand new kitchen and bath. The roof? Installed yesterday. Architectural shingles, zero wear, decades of life left on it. At 1,292 square feet, it's a smart, efficient 3-bedroom layout that lives bigger than the number suggests — no wasted space, no wasted money heating and cooling rooms you don't use. Step outside and the lot does the talking. This is a big, usable yard — fully fenced in the back for privacy, kids, or pets — anchored by a 30x24 shop with a garage and roll-up doors on a poured concrete slab. Whether that's a workshop, storage for equipment and toys, or a side-business setup, it's already built and ready. Add covered parking, plus generous covered porches on both the front and back, and you've got a home built for actually living outside as much as in.

    "I have lived in this neighborhood 11 1/2 years, my neighbors are friendly, kind and helpful when needed. There aren’t too many children seen outside often. Most neighbors take care of their yards, it’s a small community, great family community, I’ve never had anything stolen out of my yard, haven’t heard of any home break in’s. I just needed more space since adopting."
