405 Summit Ave. already has the white picket fence, now it needs a new owner to come in and update it to make it their own. This home features one floor living with the living room, kitchen and family room on the same level as the 2 bedrooms. Home also has a sun room and deck just waiting for spring!! There is also a walkout basement with a half bath, workshop area and plenty of off street parking. A little sweat equity could go a long way on this cute home!!
