Nice little newly remodeled one story, 1 bedroom home on large lot. Has a fieldstone gas fireplace and electric heat. Extra Lot could be divided and is buildable. Perfect starter home, one level for elderly or even a rental unit. Washer and Dryer included. Move in ready. Note: Only the lower one story level of this residence is remodeled. The two story portion is vacant and in need of considerable renovation.
