About this home

The main floor features the primary suite, 2nd bedroom, open concept living room, kitchen, and formal dining room with French doors that lead to a spacious patio and expansive, fully fenced yard. Upstairs is another bedroom, office, and ¾ bath. Dedicated off-street parking, plus proximity to hospital and schools makes this house one to see.
