Description

Located in a great NE neighborhood - easy access to I-235, I-80 or I-35 from here. Also close to schools and shopping. This ranch style home was built by a family member for the current owner - so no shortcuts taken. The house has some added details that you won't find in most - arched doorways. There is a very large living room and a formal dining room, large kitchen with an abundance of cupboards. In the lower level there is a bonus kitchen, 2nd bath and family room. This is a great arrangement for large get-togethers. The roof was recently replaced.

    "There are some known issues of break-in in this area where it is a common occurrence. Too many to count. Keep everything locked up. Use video cameras. Have a dog. You are constantly suspicious of new people walking the area."
