Very charming brick ranch with a wide open plan. The kitchen and bath have been tastefully updated. The Kitchen has an island and is open to the living room. There is a bonus room that leads to a screened porch. There is a storage building outside that could be a separate guest house or home office or mother in law. It is not finished but it is well build and has reclaimed hard wood floors installed. The hard stuff is done. The lady of the house has an extremely green thumb as you will see by all the landscape and fruit bearing trees.
