This house is very deceiving in size! Wonderful one floor living situated on a level lot with wooded privacy (backs up to McKenna Conservation). 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. A good value for the price and neighborhood. This home has a newer kitchen and a 4 bedroom septic will be installed. This home has so much potential for the size and space. A nice quiet street. Walk out of your large sunroom onto a serene backyard. A must see!
