    What's special

    Beautiful master bathQuality constructionDetached two car garagePorch swingDaylight basement
    This well recently remodeled home has only had three owners since it was built in 1938! The home is centered on THREE city lots. Plenty of room to add a modern large garage on one side and an in ground pool on the other if you wanted. The location is top-notch at the corner of 1st and Virginia. You'll see the quality construction as soon as you walk up the front porch steps and notice it's all poured concrete instead of wood! You'll enjoy time spent out on your own porch swing! This home features 1 bedroom on the main level with a beautiful master bath along with Living and Kitchen as well as another full bath. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with its own separate central air/heat. The daylight basement is inviting and useable space! There is a 3/4 bath in the basement, you can add extra bedrooms if needed. Basement is dry considering its age! There is also a detached two car garage behind the home with opener. Most windows have been replaced, and hardwood flooring is restored upstairs and down.
