This home is being sold "as is" and with some TLC would make a great family home. Main level offers living room, dining room, kitchen, large laundry room, bedroom and bath. Upstairs are two loft rooms with windows which could be used as bedrooms, if desired. Nice level front and side yard in a wonderful neighborhood. Only 5 minutes from a restaurant, grocery store and convenience center for disposing of garbage. Work in West Jefferson or Boone, this is a great location from either. NOTE: Has an oil stove in living room which has not been determined to be operable by owners.
