A great opportunity for the DIY person. Home has New Roof 2016, New Heat and Air 2016 as well as Newer Windows. Has large Bedroom (22 x 22 (prox) that was added on some time ago as Grandmas space that includes a small kitchenette as well as bath. Just envision converting this area to an oversized Master Bedroom Suite thus making this home a split Bedroom configuration. Hardwood floors in Living room and two bedrooms. This is an Estate Sale so is being sold "As-Is".
