There’s a separate dining room and an eat-in kitchen, plus a laundry area conveniently located just off the kitchen. Hardwood and tile flooring span most of the home, with the kitchen ready for your personal touch. Step out onto the open back deck—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A separate garage adds even more value. With a little work, this home could shine!
