A terrific yard accents this nice 3 bedroom home on the southside. Large master bedroom on the main floor, the other bedrooms are upstairs. There is a potential 4th nonconforming bedroom upstairs, too. Lots of closet space and nice, big kitchen and formal dining room. Windows and roof are newer. Pretty shade trees dot the fenced back yard. Big 2 car garage is extra deep for storage and wiring set up for heavy work. Ideal location for elementary and middle school age kids. Don't let this lovely home get away!
