Nice, well loved 2 bedroom home is just 2 blocks from the lake. It's very spacious for its square footage as there are no hallways. The rooms just flow. There's plenty of storage and even a pantry. The roof is 3 years, water heater 5, dryer and stove 6. Paint the paneling and the home will have a fresh, new look. The yard is fenced for kids and pets. There's a 3.5 car garage. What a great man cave. It's wired already, but needs to be hooked up to the house. There's even a pad poured for camper parking. The bonus is it's just a 2 block walk to the lake and fishing and relaxing. Nelson Park is a little further, but still a pleasant walk.
