Charming ranch with great curb appeal in a quiet neighborhood. Large living room leads to dining and kitchen that has opening with countertop great for social gatherings! Nice kitchen cabinets and stainless appliances. Bathroom has subway tile backsplash. Lots of character throughout. Full basement with fresh paint and a nice canning room area with antique ceramic sink. Walk up attic could be a finished 3rd bedroom. There is currently no homestead exemption applied to the property tax bill. If the home was owner occupied and this was added the taxes would go down by around $650. New roof in 2010. Replacement windows. Regions has a loan program that offers 100% financing for clients with NO mortgage insurance for homes in low to moderate income (LMI) areas. Your listing is in an LMI area, so as long as any buyer has a 680 credit score, they may qualify. If they have a 620 credit score, we can do the loan with 3% down with no mortgage insurance.
