Original owner put $190,000 into this property in 2007. This is a great home for a growing family, 4 bedrooms and 2 full bath on the main floor. The kitchen has all new Samsung high end appliances with the Range/Oven, Dishwasher and Refrigerator are all bluetooth and wifi capable. The matching above the range Microwave is not Wifi.
