This a a good solid property that with some updates will be a truly comfortable home. The vinyl siding, windows, exterior doors and roof are about 10 years old. The heating system was installed 5 years ago. The French doors, hard wood floors and the interesting walls add a decorative touch. There is a lovely sitting area in the back yard. It is located in a great place for the commuter.
