Realtor Comments
The beautiful staircase, 2 enclosed porches, glass paneled front door, original hardwood floors and trim – top that off with updated bathrooms, huge closets, so much natural light, a full basement, deck and plenty of room to add another garage. Main floor offers living room, formal dining, eat-in kitchen, half bath and an office (or 4th bedroom). Upstairs you have 3 bedrooms (all recently painted) with walk-in closets and a fully remodeled full bathroom. Accepting cash or conventional loans only due to the exterior needing painted. So much potential with this one!
