This is a must see! Lots of character and well maintained! The wood trim and built-ins are beautiful! Spacious living room and formal dining areas invite you to stay at home!

The back yard is fenced (vinyl) so great for pets! There are a couple of raised garden beds if you're in the mood! There's a nice two-stall garage with room for your vehicles and whatever! The location is on a corner lot near the school and park! Come and see it for yourself!
