Nice home situated high and dry featuring 1 main floor bedroom and 2 on the 2nd floor. There is 1 full bathroom located on the main floor and a half bath on the 2nd level. The home has a nice long driveway with plenty of room for parking and a 2 car detached garage. There is also a full unfinished basement. Nice lot that is fenced. Home does require a little TLC but does have great bones. Please see last 3 photos for floorplan for each level. This home could be a fantastic investment. Home is within walking distance to Highland Elementary school. AGENTS - please read broker remarks thoroughly for limited showing times due a seller that works nights. Seller said bring all reasonable offers.
