About this home

Won't be winning "MIss Photogenic" anytime soon, but should win "Most likely to succeed!" This home, needs a new owner after 49 years of ownership. This new owner should have vision, and an appreciation for a wonderful location...just a stones throw to schools, parks and YMCA...a young families dream. With the completion of some projects, and your ideas for future projects, this 3 bedroom home could be the "doll house" of the neighborhood! New High end heating system. Sold "AS IS."
