Great location on this handyman special. Everything works on this home and would be an excellent one to put some sweat equity in. The rear yard is fenced in. No neighbors to the back of the home that overlooks private lot. There are hardwoods under most of the carpeted areas. Added value in the metal roof. Screened in side porch area for kids to play in or just relaxing. There is a large finished room in the basement area. Easy to see, just call or text to view today.
