This cozy 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom house has lots of character and may be just what you have been searching for! The versatile living space has lots windows which allows natural light to flood the rooms! You'll find a cozy kitchen and dining space with a door to the covered back porch which is perfect for relaxation! The covered carport has a separate, secured storage area with a separate storage closet inside. This is a great space to keep all of your yard and automotive tools and supplies. The roof and mini-split units were installed in 2019 and the freestanding gas stove in the living room was just serviced.
