Nice home on over 1.5 acres with a 1 car detached garage and a long driveway. Less then 2 miles from popular Water Country. Home could use some updates, but has been loved for many years. Original maple flooring in the large living-room and fresh paint on the walls. There is a large 3 season porch across the front of the house that enters into the great room with a gas fireplace. Home has great potential.
