About this home

Fantastic home for the price! This home has been well maintained and recently had some remodeling done to it. Featuring a new kitchen with plenty of cabinets, new carpeting, nice parquet flooring in the living room, fresh paint throughout(including the porch floor and the rear exterior), replacement windows, etc. Very few homes, if any, in the city have a deck with a built in hot tub but this one does! Relax in the steaming hot water on those colder days. Another thing that needs mentioning is the central A/C unit. This is another feature which is rare for a home in the area. The summer days will be cooler and easier to deal with in this property. A 1 year AHS Core Coverage Plan Home Warranty is also being offered to the buyer for the right deal. Come see all the value you'll get for your money.
