This bright and open 2 bedroom, 1 bath home offers nearly 1,300 square feet of comfortable living space with freshly painted interior and exterior and a welcoming, easy-flow floor plan. Recent upgrades include roof, shower, improvements to plumbing, electrical, drainage systems, and more, giving buyers confidence where it counts.
