About This Home

This home sits off the road - which is nice. It has newer painted white kitchen cupboards. Home also has a walk-up attic the seller believes could be turned into a third bedroom. The home is full of large furniture stacked on top of each other with just a path to walk through. The seller has told me the home was properly winterized a year ago. No utilities are currently turned on.
