This is a great buy at this price. Very close to shopping and other conveniences. Hardwood floors throughout the living room and bedroom. The enclosed porch is not included in the square footage. This home looks much larger than listed square footage. MUST SIGN RELEASE BEFORE ENTERING PROPERTY. (Sounds bad, but it's just a requirement due to some discoloration in the basement). This is a Fannie Mae HomePath property. Purchase this property for as little as 3% down! This property is approved for HomePath Renovation Mortgage Financing.
