Nestled between two city parks, this gem is ready for the family who wants to just move in! In addition to the large living room on the main level, there is a dining room, updated eat-in kitchen with pantry, half bath and 3 seasons room. An additional 300sq. ft. is finished nicely in the lower level for play or rec. Built in 1950 by Reed Davisson, this home is tastefully decorated, has crown molding and new furnnace and air conditioning in 2005. With hardwood throughout, all appliances including washer and dryer and newer Pella windows, and a wonderfully landscaped and fenced yard, the value is obvious
