The home is in good overall condition with some updates and repairs done recently including crawl space work, a new water heater, new gutters, plumbing and electrical repairs. A pre-inspection of the home was done and is available for review so you can bid confidently on this home. With such good bones, size, privacy and location, buyers can put their own decor updates, design touches on this home and create a magnificent home of their dreams.
