Big family? Then this 1-level brick home with over 3200 sf is perfect for you. Plenty of space for family gatherings, football parties, or just room to enjoy living and location is super convenient! Abundant storage space in this home is an understatement -- every room has more storage than you could ever dream of! Big kitchen with granite tops; formal living plus ABSOLUTELY HUGE den with fireplace (great on these cold weather days). Bargain priced for this much space! Might want to update to suit your tastes but a quality-built home on 1 level with this much space is hard to come by and would cost twice as much if new!
