This is a great starter home or would also be great for someone looking to get out of rent. Home has been freshly painted; it has economical gas heat and cooking range. Appliances' will stay. Flooring is waterproof and was just put in a few short years ago. Front of house has awnings to shade the windows and help keep things cool.
Former owner just had window units to cool, but with forced air heat it would not be hard to add central air if you would like. There are 2 bedrooms but there is a set of stairs leading to a storage attic, the second floor could be redone with an addition of a dormer to make more room. The back yard currently has astro turf because the owner didn't like to mow grass but could easily be re seeded. The perimeter of the yard is fenced in to add privacy and allows you to enjoy the back yard. This home sits on a corner lot and is very economical, it's close to everything but far enough away for you to leave the city lights behind and relax and enjoy the quiet.
