Featuring three bedrooms, two full baths and real living space. At just over 1,300 square feet, the layout does not waste an inch. The living room alone runs approximately 27' x 11' — plenty of room for a full sectional and then some — and the dining room comfortably seats a full-size table with chairs to spare.

Add in brick underpinning, an attached carport and an updated gutter system, and you're looking at a home where the bones and the systems have been handled — not just the surface. A survey was completed in 2022 and is available on request, which can save you time and money during due diligence. Move-in ready, appliances included All appliances stay, including the washer and dryer — one less expense and one less thing to worry about before you settle in.
