Cute 3 bedroom/1 bath house, built in 1946 and lovingly cared for by the longtime owner. House includes the lot next door. You can't build on the extra lot, but the owner has landscaped a beautiful area between the house and I-85 which also doubles as a buffer. New A/C, water heater and relatively new Heater (2011.) Nice neighborhood just minutes from downtown. The home and the lot are located in a Flood Zone and the owner has flood insurance.
