Suitable starting point

Every story has a beginning. Every family has a start, and the home at 426 Wayne in Jackson is one of those places perfect for a beginning.

This brick-and-vinyl split-level home with brown shutters and a matching door with a half-moon window sits invitingly atop a hill.

Inside, it's not fancy but comfortable. Beige Berber carpeting covers the living room and dining room floors. A sliding patio door in the dining area leads to a deck with an above-ground pool. The back yard is quite large, with a wooden privacy fence surrounding it.

The kitchen features white colonial-style cabinetry with wood parquet flooring. The green granite-look countertops contrast nicely with the white cabinetry. A double stainless steel sink has a window above it overlooking the back yard.

The upstairs bathroom features tile-look linoleum with white cabinetry, beige walls and a relaxing shower massage in the tub/shower.

This home has three bedrooms with plenty of windows for natural light and plentiful closet space.

Downstairs is a bathroom with walnut cabinetry and stylish pin-striped wallpaper with a wild duck motif border. A step-in shower makes this a great clean-up bathroom after yard work or gardening.

A large room that could be used as either an office or extra bedroom is also found downstairs. It includes a wall-length set of closets with wooden folding doors for additional storage space.

The one-car garage offers plenty of extra storage space.

This great starter home is currently priced at $109,900, and is available for viewing through Century 21 Ashland Realty, 334-0125.
