About this House

The enclosed front porch will greet you as you step inside. The living room is large, spacious enough to accomodate a wrap around couch and the dark wide plank flooring throughout the main level is a great compliment to the improvements made in this home. In the kitchen you will appreciate the updated cabinets plus the appliances are included: stove, refrigerator, dishwasher. No going to the basement for laundry as it is conveniently located on the main level of the home! Two bedrooms and a full bathroom finish off the 1st floor.

The nice 3 car garage offers plenty of parking/storage space. Vinyl siding, vinyl windows, updated flooring & kitchen, newer mechanicals and a 3 car garage is almost too good to be true! NFC financing available.
