A dream come true

Falling interest rates have provided an opportunity for families and individuals who have never before been able to own their own homes and this house at 1717 David St. is the silver lining found in every cloud.

While it may not have a white picket fence, this house has everything else embodying the American dream of a home.

First, it's located in a friendly neighborhood, within walking distance of Alma Schrader Elementary School. The white-frame house, though a traditional ranch style house, is modernized with maintenance-free vinyl siding. It sits quietly in an established yard, its windows peering from quaint green shutters. A covered porch area makes a perfect early morning coffee spot.

Inside, one finds that everything has recently been renovated. The walls have been freshly painted, and the carpet is new. It has been lovingly decorated with artistically done sage green walls that provide a modern look for the living room and dining areas.

It is a virtually maintenance-free house, complete with new electrical updates, new central heat and air, a new roof, new kitchen appliances, and a new 24-foot above ground pool and 10-foot deck.

The beauty of this home is not only its affordability, priced at only $84,900, but also its versatility. It is a perfect home for a new family, looking to buy their first home, or an elderly person or couple, looking to downsize or to perhaps save money by owning rather than renting.

The house is configured to include a living room and family room, three bedrooms, and a bath. A bedroom could easily become an office, though, and the utility room between the family room and outside pool area is a great little area for either changing after a swim, or coming in from an evening of gardening.
