This property would make a great starter home for any first time home buyers. Two bedrooms and a bathroom located on the main floor, with the potential for a second bathroom to be added in the basement. The back yard features a deck and fenced in area that would be great for gatherings and out door activities. The foundation in the basement has also been repaired/braced in May of 2026 with steel beams. Heating and Central air were replaced in September of 2025.
2 bed ranch with family room to the back of the house. Hardwood floors were just refinished. Owner also did more work so you can move in & enjoy. There is a deck off the back of the family room.
