This home is situated on a mature and nicely landscaped lot, with a covered front porch, two car front entry garage with openers, a rear Trex deck off of the kitchen eating area, and a very nice lower brick patio outside of the lower level family room sliding glass doors.

The upper level has the primary owners suit with full bath and walk in closet. The Hall or family bath was fitted with a very nice walk in shower tub combination, serving the two other very nicely sized bedrooms. This home has been priced competitively and will not last.
