Welcome to this great three bedroom ranch, the perfect home for someone wanting first floor living. Along with hardwood flooring throughout most of the home, arched doorways in the living room and dining room add to the charm. The kitchen is a galley style with a gas range and refrigerator plus a washer and dryer in the laundry/utility room right off the kitchen. The three bedrooms are nicely sized and have ample closet space. The pull-down stairs to the attic lead to plenty of storage space. The enclosed front porch with lots of windows has a ceiling fan and offers a great place to sit and relax. There is also a long driveway offering plenty of off-street parking. Conveniently located in the established community of Gordy Estates within minutes of I-95, public transportation, shopping, entertainment and hospitals. This home is being sold "AS IS" to settle an estate.
