Description

Beautiful 1.5 story on nearly an acre!! This property combines charm and character from the past with countless upgrades and updates inside and out. Main level has newly re-finished hardwood floors, arched doorways, original doors and oak trim. There is two bedrooms, an updated full bath, kitchen and large living room on first floor, upstairs is a finished attic that would be perfect for a 3rd bedroom or a large office. The basement is partially finished, and there is a bonus room/3 season room between the garage and house that is completely remodeled. Exit the 3 seasons room through brand new slider doors to a deck/patio area overlooking the 3/4+ acre lot. Some of the updates include all new windows, new roof, new gutters, new paint inside and out, remodeled bathroom, new furnace, new central a.c., new water heater, and some new flooring.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "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."
