Lots of main floor square footage and so close to CR! Many updates, very nice roomy kitchen & appliances. Large living room with laminate wood flooring. Good opportunity for first time buyer, investor or an empty nester. Low payment/low taxes! Seller is open to a $1000 closing cost credit. Septic certified in 2015. Vacant, easy to show. A lot of house for the money. Have a look, you won't be disappointed!
