ACCEPTED OFFER, subject to inspections and financing. Still showing for possible backup offer. Welcome home to this wonderful property in a great neighborhood (close to schools, shopping, parks, and bus line). The house itself is very comfortable and practical, with a good-sized living space on the main level connected to a dining area and large kitchen with lots of cabinets and counter space. Tons of natural light, especially from the slider leading onto the big deck overlooking the fenced-in and private backyard with many shade trees. Three bedrooms and both a full and a half bathroom on the main level. The lower level provides a relaxing area to hang out with a huge family room that includes a wood-burning fireplace. And for a lower level, there is also ample natural light. And this is the very rare single family detached home in the area that is priced under $300,000.
