About this home

This Home is a real charmer with all the must haves! I love the quiet location just outside the city limits with spectacular views from backyard deck off the master bedroom. This is a beautiful home with an open floor plan, large eat in kitchen, and extra seating at the amazing bar. You will say WOW when you walk through the front door. Updates include Roof - re-plumbed with PEX - All wiring updated - windows - appliances - flooring -New Kitchen and New baths. Room to add a shop or garage. Won't Last!!
