Nice ranch in good location near Beaverdale and Merle Hay Mall. House and garage have low-maintenance siding. Kitchen has attractive cabinets. Hardwood floors under carpet. Front bedroom is fairly large (12.5 x 11.5). Basement is unfinished and has been water-proofed. Lot is flat - lots of room to garden and landscape.
