The minute you arrive you will notice the difference - an inviting front porch and gorgeous side entry with stone path will draw you inside. On the way, you will notice a new architectural shingled roof, a secluded fenced rear yard (complete with an outdoor shed!), huge covered deck area and multiple trellis features. Once inside you will be blown away by the new high quality finishes including all new; paint, hardwood floors, HVAC, kitchen, bathroom, laundry area, doors and fixtures. The high end finishes include granite tops, stainless appliances, satin nickel fixtures, satin nickel hardware, meticulous tile work and so much more. You will be amazed at what you can get in this home for under 150k. The house is as close as you can get to new construction and you will not find an outdoor space to top this one!

R-10
Residential-10 District
The purpose of the Residential-10 (R-10) District is to provide lands that accommodate new residential neighborhoods and encourage the conservation of existing residential lots and neighborhoods. Neighborhoods in the R-10 District are relatively low density in character and include a limited mix of single family and duplex housing types. If public water is not available, the water system infrastructure must be installed in accordance with County standards and connected when a public supply becomes available. R-10 district lands may be established in proximity to neighborhood or community commercial districts to encourage the establishment of walkable development patterns.
