About this home
Single Family · Built 1941

The partially finished basement adds flexibility with a laundry area and a third non-conforming room ideal for a home office or guest space. Additional highlights include a one-stall garage connected by a breezeway, a rebuilt front deck, and a roof and water heater from 2019.
