Inside, the home has modest ceilings and charming Oak floor throughout the living rooms and bedrooms area. The 1,133 square foot home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Both bedrooms are accented with exposed bricks and soaring ceilings.

The spacious kitchen is equipped with oak cabinets, wood finished countertops and ceramic tiling. The kitchen has space for a dining/eat-in area.

Outside, the home has a fenced, intimate backyard area that comes with a detached storage area.
