A lot of house for the money! Solid, all brick, split level home waiting for your personal touches. Original owners have meticulously cared for this home. Hardwood floors underneath all main level and upstairs carpets. The 1.5 car garage was built 3 feet longer to add more storage and features a new garage door. The driveway allows 2 cars side-by-side. The sub-basement provides a workshop or additional living space and storage and is a rare find in this area. Solid oak cabinets in the eat-in kitchen receives plenty of natural light. All ceiling fans, custom shelving and window treatments stay with the home. Newer a/c, roof and water heater. Back yard is large enough for family and friends to spread out. Close to school, Mariano's, shopping, entertainment and public transportation. There are over 8 parks nearby including Prairie Lakes Park and Mountain View Mine Park. Don't let this gem pass you by!
Split level home with sub basement. Laundry is in the basement.
