Sitting on nearly ¼ acre, this beauty features over 1600 square feet and is in a GREAT CENTRAL LOCATION. From the moment you approach the home, you’ll notice the loving care it has been given. The beautiful mature landscaping, lawn, and shrubbery show off its fantastic curb appeal. Once you step inside, you’ll be struck by the grand cathedral ceiling in the living room, highlighted by the beautiful decorative stone fireplace.
