Description

Attention all Buyers! Great first time or investment property! This 4 bedroom 2 bath ranch has had a complete overhaul. Fresh exterior paint, updated kitchen with new dovetail soft close cabinets, refinished hardwood floors, new trim and doors, new fixtures, new bath and an addition of a 4th bedroom downstairs. Did I mention new furnace and electrical panel? This home is move in ready and priced to sell. The basement is bone dry, mitigated for radon and ready for future finish. The driveway has a large over-sized pad poured and ready for a garage. This one is definitely worth looking at asap.
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.
