With the economy improving and still historically low mortgage rates, home ownership is cheaper than renting . This lovely 4/2 ranch style home with strong curb appeal has been upgraded nicely with vinyl windows and will provide an excellent foundation for your family's growth. This coveted north Merced neighborhood is central for a convenient commute and good schools. The home is comfortable with separate family room/living room and a shiny five burner gas stove plus a convection oven. Position yourself favorably for future upside potential and act now to start the new year right!
