    PRICE REDUCED $10,000 from original price on this stately 2-story home in an excellent small town just a hop from the Metro!

Located in a great neighborhood close to the excellent Baxter Community Schools and community parks, this 3BR/1.5BA 1580 sf home has lots to offer. The main level features large dining and living areas with striking refinished maple flooring. The second level offers 3 large bedrooms with original hardwood floors and a full bath.
