About this home
Yes you can OWN THIS HOME to live in for almost $112,000! Take a look inside this MOSTLY BRICK HOME. The LIVING ROOM is rather spacious with it being OPEN TO THE DINING ROOM. The hardwood floors blend the 2 rooms into 1 LARGER ROOM. The kitchen is almost LARGE ENOUGH for a table and is large enough to prepare the food for all residents. Down a short hallway are 2 BEDROOMS and a full bathroom. BOTH BEDROOMSs are RATHER LARGE with hardwood floors and good size closets. Behind the kitchen is the ENCLOSED PORCH for you to unwind on. Then there is the SPACIOUS BACK YARD which leads back to the 1 CAR GARAGE to keep your car off the street.
