Wonderful opportunity in popular Sunset Hills neighborhood. This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home has newer gas heat and central air. Hardwood floors under carpet (per seller) and replacement windows. Needs updating and being sold AS IS. Great price in superb location. (NOTE: Home has approximately 1848 square feet, but several rooms do not currently have HVAC vents so cannot be counted for MLS square footage)
