    This home is ready for a new owner to love it as much as the current owner does. The roof, furnace, central air, and kitchen appliances are all newer within the last eight years. This is a two bedroom home with a wonderful yard. Nearly a quarter of acre of yard to enjoy and part of the yard is fenced. Home is located in a wonderful area that is quiet with low traffic but also offers easy access to anywhere. This has to be one of the best priced homes in the metro area. All information obtained from Seller and public records.
