About this property
Shady Shelter - Quiet Comfort, Family Friendly - close to everything!
Bring the whole family, including your fur-babies, to this newly remodeled home with lots of room for outside fun! The large lot located next to a small creek, has a ton of shade that makes it perfect for outdoor activities. The home is close to the main city park and pool, sports fields, and downtown shopping & eating - all within walking/biking distance. The house has 2 beds and 1 bath, 2 large garages to park in, and plenty of space for boats and trailers for the nearby lake or hunting.
