This property was gutted and slowly rehabbed between 2014 and 2017. There's an open floor plan, and everything remains in great condition. The rehab included a new kitchen, new bathrooms, new electric, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, floors, and a French drain. The home features stainless steel appliances in the large kitchen, central A/C, a new half bath on the first floor, an easily accessible stacked washer/dryer, a huge back yard with a brand new fence for privacy, a French drain, ample closet space, two large bedrooms, and a large basement that can be finished or simply used for storage. The roof has been maintained to prevent leaks. Schedule your showing today!
