This home is warm and inviting, and is located in an attractive, popular neighborhood. It has an open floor plan that is bright and sunny, hardwood floors in the living room and dining room, an eat-in kitchen with a dishwasher and updated appliances.

A full size laundry room as well as an exterior entrance to the back yard and additional storage area make this home not only attractive, but highly functional.

Plenty of storage is available in the fully floored attic. One year Home Trust Warranty included.
