This 1.5-story brick home with vinyl siding accents sits on a generous quarter-acre lot, complete with a scenic stream and wooded backdrop.

If you're looking for a home with solid bones, recent mechanical updates, and the potential to build equity with a little work, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
