What's special

Brick bungalow

Brick Bungalow with 4 bedrooms above ground and 3 full bathrooms. This home is a pure joy to walk through and has plenty of potential. The property is very spacious and does have a shared driveway with the neighboring home. This is a HUD property and is being sold "AS IS." There will be no survey provided. This property in my opinion is a must see, so set your appointments today. Your broker will need to have active NAID # to bid on the property for you. This is a very nice home.
