About this home

If you're looking for a charming, move-in ready home, this is a home you need to check out! The three bedroom main level has been updated (including kitchen) with all new flooring and appliances. The lower level is a great place to also hang out & entertain and includes a bonus room/non-conforming bedroom. Outside you'll love the meticulously cared-for yard! The carport is of course great for providing cover for your vehicles but also a great additional space to entertain outdoors and stay dry! Located across the street from Phillips Elementary school. See this home today! All information obtained from seller and public records.
