Property description
This adorable 2 bedroom 1 bathroom home has so much to offer! It is located just blocks from the square, on an almost quarter of an acre corner lot. The owners have recently painted all of the walls, installed all new outlets/light switches/outlet covers, and put in beautiful 6 panel doors. The bedrooms have original hardwood floors that could easily be like new with a coat of paint, or possibly sanded and stained. The unfinished basement can be used for extra storage and safety from storms. Outside you will find a one car detached garage and garden shed, both of which have electricity, and a partially fenced back yard to enjoy! At this price, why rent when you could own your own home!
