Bones, Bones, Bones, what a property. The grand majority of major and expensive upgrades have been completed. NEWER windows throughout. Newer roof, foundation, HVAC, 2 heated garages, 1 being a very generous, oversized unit for 2 vehicles, shop and getaway cave. The other for that special toy that needs its own space or hot tub. Outdoor patio and social sitting area. The main floor consists of newly renovated laundry and kitchen/w slow close cabinets and countertops, living and bath/w low entry walk in shower, and one bedroom. The lower level is newer, a fully concrete blocked basement with wide stairway access. 3/4 bath, with 100% unfinished space just waiting for that new owners' touch. The upper lever consists of 3-bedroom spaces that FRANKLY need some cosmetic TLC but is a very transformable area into 2 or 3 bedrooms with the right effort. All situated in a GREAT location, close to everything part of town including parks, schools, downtown and the courthouse yet just off busy 4th Ave. Newer retaining wall on a well-groomed lot. This is the whole package folks and priced to sell.
