Adorable three bedroom one bath in the heart of the city. Front door opens to a nice sized family room awaiting a new owner to enjoy. Off the family room is an open kitchen with dining area and tiled flooring. Cabinetry galore. Three bedrooms on the main floor round out the upper level. Home also features a finished lower level with a separate room that could be a living room, spare non conforming bedroom or for whatever use the new owner could/would envision. All of this plus nearly a 1/4 acre lot that the home rests on.
