Property description
What an opportunity! Original owner hates to leave this solid, well-maintained ranch in the heart of Cumberland Highlands. All the boring work has been done: roof & siding in 2014, H2O heater, furnace, A/C in 2011, newer sump, overhead sewers plus flap to keep sewer from backing up, newer oversized 2.5 car garage with new concrete pad. Newer stainless appliances. Gorgeous original hardwood floors throughout. Friendly neighborhood, great schools, near shopping, transportation, and the Cumberland metra!
