This is truly a great home. With a little elbow grease you can make this gem shine again. This home sits on just over a half acre lot. It features an addition which can be used as a sun room or a family room. The large deck leads to an in-ground pool and there is plenty yard left for a variety of uses. The second floor offers generous size bedrooms as well as a deceptive master suite. Some fix-up/TLC is required but it's worth the effort. Home is being sold as-is. Pool is as-is. Condition of pool unknown. Short Sale.
