***Back on the market due to buyer's inability to secure financing. Don't miss out on this opportunity!****
Welcome to this charming and affordable home in Wells where owning a home can cost less per month than renting.

This well maintained property offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1034 square feet of comfortable living space along with a versatile bonus room that can be used as an office, guest space, or hobby room.

The home features an updated kitchen along with major upgrades including a newer HVAC system, newer roof, and newer windows. These improvements provide peace of mind and help keep monthly expenses more predictable.

The layout is functional and inviting, making it easy to settle in and feel at home right away.

If you have been renting, this is your opportunity to put that monthly payment toward ownership instead. With today’s market, a mortgage payment on this home could be less than what you would pay in rent.
