This property was gutted and slowly rehabbed between 2014 and 2017. There's an open floor plan, and everything remains in great condition. The rehab included a new kitchen, new bathrooms, new electric, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, floors, and a French drain. The home features stainless steel appliances in the large kitchen, central A/C, a new half bath on the first floor, an easily accessible stacked washer/dryer, a huge back yard with a brand new fence for privacy, a French drain, ample closet space, two large bedrooms, and a large basement that can be finished or simply used for storage. The roof has been maintained to prevent leaks. Schedule your showing today!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
