About This Home
Room to spread out in this 5 bedroom, 2 bath home near Monmouth College! This already spacious home had an addition in 2007 allowing for abundant space and storage. The kitchen is beautifully updated with Hickory cabinets and solid surface counters, plus skylight allowing lots of natural light to flow through the space. This home also provides main floor laundry, a tankless on-demand water heater, and newer boiler system, mostly vinyl replacement windows, a screened in porch plus deck and large yard. There is so much to offer here at a price that makes sense! Come see for yourself! *Generator in place but not currently operational. Kitchen appliances included plus washer and dryer!
