Three bedrooms and one floor living in peaceful Appleton. Come home to a big yard, shady trees, and a bright and cheery home. Traveling up and down the stairs will be a thing of the past. An open floor plan allows being in the kitchen while not being away from everyone else in the house. The living area stays toasty in the winter with a wood stove but there's a propane heater for comfort as well. The ample storage and counter space in the kitchen allows the chef in the home to experiment without limits. The bedrooms are roomy, and having the laundry on the same level helps them stay tidy. The backyard has storage buildings and a fence for your pets. There's even a custom made clothes line. Don't miss this chance to live the American dream of home ownership.
