About this home

Combining affordability and convenience, this 3 bedroom home also offers a comfortable layout. The living room with hardwood floors flows seamlessly to the dining area and to the kitchen.

Home is ready for you to add your personal touch as several of the big ticket items are done: newer windows and siding, furnace and a/c replaced 2019, roof replaced summer of 2020, electrical panel replaced fall 2020, and PEX plumbing 2021. Access the fully fenced backyard from the slider doors off the dining area. Another shed the size of a 1.5 garage offers plenty of storage.
