Freshly Updated home with Small Town Living! Updated light fixtures & ceiling fans, bull-nosed corners, upgraded windows & doors are just a few of the features. Very nice and ready for a new family. Three bedrooms with one and a half baths. Garage conversion with an expanded living area, utility room and half bath is very well done. Two exterior buildings are included. This one is worth a look!
