(2023), insulated garage with natural gas heat (2019), and a brand-new garage roof scheduled for installation prior to closing. Additional updates include refreshed drop ceiling tiles on the main level and numerous cosmetic improvements that reflect pride of ownership throughout.

    "Unfortunately Proctor is going downhill quickly. Low income Rental houses are popping up throughout the area and these properties are allowed to fall into terrible disrepair and squalor. Sadly an area on the slide Down. "
