Super Cute home in the historic district. What a nice neighborhood! Lots of updates! New windows, gas fireplace insert, new bath, updated kitchen, roof with leaf guard gutters! You need to see this one! Lower level was just finished! There is a slider off the dining room to a deck and fully landscaped yard. The front has been newly blocked and landscaped! All you have to do is move in!
