Property Description
Three bedroom home in the City of Benton Harbor - remodeled of course, with the freshest of taste and colors. A completely new kitchen and a brand-new furnace is in place, plus the city has replaced the main water line to the house. The exterior of the home has benefitted from all new vinyl siding and a new roof, all new windows and doors, all new gutters, facia, and soffit! The front is partially fenced; the only thing missing are the people. Some images in this listing have been virtually staged. This is a Fannie Mae property.
