About this home
Single Family · Built 1971
Quite a bit packed into this two-story home on a quiet street. Huge back yard, fully fenced with separate long dog run that runs the entire depth from front to back. Yard is flat with large deck and cutout, ready for a future hot tub. Inside are newer floors. Living room with room for most furniture. Small family room with a wall of built-ins and door to the back deck. kitchen with eating space and a view to backyard. All the bedrooms up plus a full bath. Technically there are four bedrooms so you can have this configured as three bedrooms and office or use fourth bedroom as intended. The home needs some updating so bring your ideas. The property located very near lots of amenities and a 2 minute walk to Charlotte's Blueberry Park.
