About this House

Great brick ranch home with everything on one level. The home is in great shape, but does need updating. The large flat yard is great for gardens or fun and you can't easily find that. Full unfinished basement with a garage door access great for those who love to do big projects. Two living spaces for entertaining and only 5 minutes to downtown, grocery store, and fitness centers. Outbuilding for tons of storage.
