About this home
Single Family · Built 1926 · Historic
Check out this updated three bedroom, one bath home! Plus there is a 24 x 24 detached garage and a huge 60 x 220 lot! UPDATES Per the seller: 2006 HOUSE 100 Amp service, wiring, plumbing, drywall, insulation in the walls and ceiling, furnace and air conditioning, siding, windows, soffit, fascia, plus the guttering. 2018: kitchen sink, garbage disposal, flooring throughout. 2018 sump pump, plus lights added in the attic and crawl space. 2018 GARAGE siding, soffit, & fascia, walk-in and overhead door plus opener. 2021 roof, living room exterior door and bay window. 2022 Water heater and dishwasher. ***The garage siding on the west side was damaged when the home to the west burned and will be replaced prior to closing. The foyer entry light can be set up to your telephone and will blink until it is programed. Better take a look because it is cheaper than rent and you can have your pets too!! FYI there was LOT LINE DISPUTE which took this home longer to close. Surveyors and deeds have been revised to reflect so this lot may not be the same as first noted.
