Nice little home with a great location close to restaurants and shopping. Enjoy the good sized living room, 2 beds with a jack and jill bathroom and eat in kitchen. The roof and siding were replaced within the last 5 years on the home and garage. The windows are newer. The garage is oversized and there's a nice extra storage shed in the fenced in backyard. The home has charm with the original hardwood floors and solid wood doors.

With an updated kitchen and bath, fresh paint, low maintenance exterior, and all appliances included what more could you ask for? How about piece of mind, the seller is including an AHS home warranty. The back yard is nicely landscaped and fenced. The sewer line was replaced to the street in 2007 so no worries there and the list of improvements go on.
