There's appliances in the kitchen that stay, a gas log fireplace in the living room, central air, the roof shingles were replaced in 2010, and an updated electrical service with breakers was just installed. Other features include a 2 stall attached garage, fenced back yard, screened sitting porch and the street is a dead end, so traffic is at a minimum. The home does need a little updating with some paint and flooring, but it's very livable and you can move right in so don't wait. Holmes Elementary and The Spring Lake Middle School are only a block away.
