Description

BUYERS! Seller is offering an $18,000 credit for a 2-1 rate buy down w strong offer. In some scenarios, this can lower your payment by $800/month for the first year! Flyer attached. Seller has spent 40 years IMPROVING this amazing home! Most of the improvements have been the big ticket items that wear out on a home of this age. The roof (2021) and some windows (2019) have been replaced and even the garage has been updated with custom cabinetry, epoxy floors and newer garage door. There is a very large, permitted addition with a separate entrance on the side of the home.There is ample room in the driveway for up to a medium size (25' or so) rv/trailer and there is even an easily accessed clean-out! A solar system with pre-paid Power Purchase Agreement means you won't have a solar lease payment for the remaining 8-years with this all-electric home. Inside improvements include updated flooring, updates to the spacious kitchen and custom fireplace surround in the living room. Situated at some elevation, you will enjoy scenic views and the almost half-acre lot offers privacy and space.
