Check out this super cute downtown bungalow with lots of character, simple maintenance, and a great location. This home was built in 2006 and has been meticulously maintained. Owners put a new NC fortified roof, new HVAC, and extended the driveway in 2023. Yes, you have off street parking!
This is a great home for someone looking for a house in the heart of downtown without all the required renovations of a historic home. Priced to sell!
