Welcome to 3540 Houston Branch Rd. It was purchased in 2021 and has undergone extensive renovations. The interior was taken down to the studs. There is new drywall, flooring and sub flooring, a complete bath room, windows, kitchen cabinets, appliances and quartz counter tops. Even the electric was updated along with plumbing. Did I mention a new roof, well and septic system!! This is a perfect starter home or for the buyers looking to downsize. The lot is deep and offers lots of room to spread out!
Est. $1,834 per month, based on comparable rentals
