About this home
This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was fully remodeled after Hurricane Laura by the former owner. Offering the feel of a much newer home without the new construction price tag, you’ll find a spacious living room anchored by a wood-burning brick fireplace, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has been completely redone with cabinetry, countertops, and a functional eat-in bar. The kitchen is complete with stainless steel appliances as well. The primary suite features a fully updated bathroom and a walk-in closet, while the oversized laundry room adds serious functionality with a utility sink and space for an additional freezer or storage. Big-ticket items were handled by the previous owner: new roof, sheetrock, paint, vinyl plank flooring, fixtures, insulation, ductwork, and an HVAC system that’s only about 4 years old. Step outside and you’ll find even more value, a 17x20 workshop with electricity and water, ideal for hobbies, storage, or a home business setup. The acre lot is partially fenced with plenty of room to expand. This home qualifies for a 100% financing with a rural development loan and it's situated in Flood Zone X which typically doesn't require flood insurance. This property may qualify for a mortgage assumption....
