Realtor Comments
A wonderful family was raised in this home, and it holds special memories for them, but now it’s time to pass it on. This ranch style home with picket fence and covered front porch offers 3 bedrooms, living room, family room, eat in kitchen and screened in back porch. There are hardwood floors underneath some of the carpeting. The heat pump has a new furnace. Metal roof (not sure when that was put on). It’s situated on a level lot and there’s a storage building that will convey. The house is conveniently located to schools, shopping, etc. It is in need of some TLC.
