About this home

Must see this charming red brick ranch in peaceful Piney Acres neighborhood.

Home features hardwood floors in living room, three bedrooms and hallway, new ceramic tile in bathrooms, and easy-on-your-feet vinyl flooring in the kitchen and dining area.

Large open lot features fenced-in back yard, large storage building, concrete pad where one could store a boat, and beautiful mature trees at the edges of the lot. Lots of room for outdoor cookouts, gardening and lawn games. Plenty of storage, ample parking in carport and drive.
