About this home

This is the perfect entry level opportunity to live in a city which ranked in the top ten most desirable cities in the country, according to Realtor.com! This 7 room, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath English Colonial home needs TLC, but it also has much to offer. Besides being just a few blocks from the elementary school, less than a mile from the middle school, high school, and all that downtown has to offer, this home’s attributes include: hardwood floors and plaster walls throughout to start you on your way; crown molding, chair railing and arched entryways which add to the aesthetics along with a wrought iron spiral-stair hand rail and two fireplaces; an attached screen porch overlooks the sunken garden on this large lot, and the attached garage is super convenient. There is work that needs to be done, but any effort put in will be returned in spades!
