Enjoy the outdoors on the large deck overlooking the open yard, or relax on the covered front porch. The paved driveway provides ample parking, and the home is connected to town water and sewer. A brand-new roof with leased solar panels adds both efficiency and value. While the home could use some TLC, it's structurally sound, with mostly cosmetic updates needed. Bring your vision, add some paint and new flooring, and make this home truly your own!
