Inside this 3 bed / 2 bath home, the main floor living area overlooks a new back deck toward the preserve beyond. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living space which flows into a delightful dining area and updated kitchen with granite counter-tops, ample storage, a built-in bench, and newer stainless-steel appliances.

This wonderful Old Mission listing is the best of many worlds - smart and easy - don't miss out on this opportunity! *Additional features include newer septic field (2018) and a newer AC unit.
