Mid-50's Ranch. Maintained condition with OK finishes. Standard floorplan. The BR that faces the backyard has a large picture window. Livable but most will want a complete interior re-do. Full basement is finished but no bath. Galvanized plumbing,...
newer HVAC. Good sized yard but it will need landscaping. Lot backs onto 41 - road noise in the yard & a bit inside as well
