About this home

There are SO many things to like about this property! It's a one bedroom/one bath house with a spacious living room. Decorative fireplace. Full basement. Hardwood floors are ready to be refinished. Kitchen has new laminate, cook top, stove, and sink. Newer roof. Many newer replacement windows. Fenced in backyard with 2-tiered wood deck to enjoy evenings outside. 2-car heated, insulated garage with 12 x 14 attached shop with own electricity. Lots of possibilities with this home! In addition to the exceptional garage, there is a 10 x 16 manufactured shed on the property as well. Fantastic bright, sunny front porch to enjoy. Property needs some projects finished up but has great potential. Being sold as-is and priced to sell.
