Affordable is the word here. This home has been owned by the current owner since 1960 and while the new owners will want to paint and do some updating it is certainly affordable. The yard is like a park and measures 231 ft. deep. Quick possession possible. Great location in the Beaverdale Neighborhood where NFC financing is available.
