Home #31, a 2BR, 1.5 baths TH is available for sale.

It has a finished attic, and a partially finished basement (has flooring and ceiling, and the cement walls are painted). The kitchen and downstairs bathroom floors have been redone with high quality vinyl tile, and the living room has also been redone in vinyl tile.

The walkout basement has additional outlets and a utility sink. The wiring is in for a 220 outlet, but needs a plug and to be turned on.

The hot water heater is a couple of years old.

There is a plug added to the walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and mini-splits (heat pumps and AC) in the whole house.

Behind our unit are 6 4’x8’ raised beds and two smaller ones, and there is a d’anjou pear tree in front (if the new owner doesn’t want it, we will take it with us!).
