Are you a first time home buyer or are you looking to down size. This house is exactly what you are looking for. Low maintenance with tons of charm. Currently boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 baths but could easily convert storage into a 4th bedroom. Many updates have been made. Many of them vastly improving the efficiency of the home. Home is in immaculate condition and should pass a Rural Development inspection. My personal favorite part of this home is that nearly all the original wood work and details are still in place and in fantastic condition. Very convenient location in the heart of Perham. Back yard perfect for grilling and yard games. I think a very important detail is the taxes are very inexpensive and there are NO specials. AFFORDABLE!
