As you drive up the hill you see the fresh paint on your open-concept home. You prepare dinner in your gourmet kitchen with Samsung appliances and snow quartz counters while watching the family play in their newly landscaped backyard. When they are called in for dinner, the puppy runs into the living room. He may be muddy, but you’re not worried because the white oak brushed waxed flooring has a 50-year water resistant finish. As the sun sets, getting the family ready for bed is a breeze. The deep-soaking tub and master ensuite shower with glass barn door and Grohe fixtures help melt away the excitement from the day. It is good to be home.

Ok, so this home suffered some minor damage from an explosion within the kitchen, so there is now mostly a shell within. .. great home for Investors. One window is blown out, all others intact, needs paint, flooring and appliances to make new again. All windows relatively new. Some neglect of fascia, exterior paint. Otherwise the area is beautiful, schools nearby, easy access to 57 FWY. . Seeking CASH BUYER, or HARD MONEY BUYER. .. . DO NOT DISTURB OCCUPANT - DRIVE BY ONLY - THANK YOU FOR BEING RESPECTFUL
