    What's special

    Say hello to the perfect first home! Whether it's your first to call home or the first for your investment portfolio, this house has some serious potential. All the hard work has already been done--floors ripped out, walls knocked down, and everything put back together brand new. When you walk through the front porch, you'll find a nice size living area that feeds into the kitchen. Off the main hallway are two nice sized bedrooms with a full bath in between them. Through the stairs you'll find a dormer that when finished, would make a great third bedroom. The oversized yard includes the empty lot directly to the West of you and makes the perfect place for your furry friends to roam around. See this before it's gone!

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
