This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was fully remodeled after Hurricane Laura by the former owner. In it you’ll find a spacious living room anchored by a wood-burning brick fireplace, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Step outside and you’ll find even more, a 17x20 workshop with electricity and water, ideal for hobbies, storage, or a home business setup. The acre lot is partially fenced with plenty of room to expand.
