Property Description

Ready to move in, this two bedroom ranch with updated kitchen and bathrooms may be just what you are looking for. It is located directly across from Painter Park and is in impeccable condition throughout with hardwood floors and newer vinyl windows. The living room has a wood burning fireplace and the dining room is in what used to be the third bedroom and is easily converted back to the original design if necessary. In the lower level you will find a completely finished area with water proof manufactured flooring, heat and central air. There is a sump pump which is hardly ever used and two oil tanks. On the outside is a comfortable 16x22 wood deck, perfect for outdoor parties or just relaxing and a one car garage with auto door. The backyard is completely fenced with wood privacy fencing. Just a short walk to the high school and three miles of sandy beaches with free public parking to all the residents of the city. Please note that this sale is subject to the seller finding suitable housing and that they are actively looking. Seller's request 60 days to find a home after signing of the agreement and if the buyer wants to do their home inspection that they must do it right after signing of the purchase agreement.
