Located across from Shapiro Developmental Center, you will be able to enjoy a backdrop of trees over the river and watch the changing of the leaves in the seasons. Within the last 10 years, the windows on the second floor were replaced as well as the roof. There are 3 windows on the first floor that were replaced too. There is a concrete inground pool that is empty and in need of repair. Along the river bank are two flowerbeds that may be an ideal vegetable garden for you. The basement is finished with a full bathroom and many built-in shelves. You may access the garage from the basement.
