What a great home to make yours. Some TLC is needed but all cosmetic. The sunny country kitchen is so adorable. The seller removed the top cabinet doors to display your favorite dishes and cookbooks. Plenty of room for your dining room table to enjoy family meals. The bedrooms are spacious with plenty of closet space. Go to the lower level and you have a living area a bedroom and full bath. The previous owners removed the garage door and enclosed it for more living space. Being used as a recreation room, utility area and a family space.

Plenty of space for a ball game and the fur babies can run and play. Great neighborhood and close to town for all your needs. Being Sold As Is.
