Spacious 2-bedroom 1-bath home, offering over 800 sqft of living space. Kitchen has updates started, a great start for an owner-occupant, or investor. Seller has never lived in the home, and has limited knowledge of the condition. Property being sold strictly as-is, with no repairs to be made by the seller. Great oppurtunity for buyers looking to add value with work.
