    What's special

    A wonderful two bedroom home, so close to everything, but off the beaten path. Sellers already took care of painting the exterior of the home and just replaced the furnace! They have some newer windows, a replacement garage door waiting and lots of charm left to be unveiled by you! The first floor hosts an eat-in kitchen and living room and the second floor houses the 2 bedrooms and bathroom. Join us at this home's open house and unlock its full potential with your ideas. This home is ready to be yours and is available for a quick close if preferred.
