Situated on a peaceful country parcel, this solid cinder block home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and approximately 960 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space.

Built for durability and efficiency, the home features poured concrete-insulated block walls for added strength, energy efficiency, and sound reduction, along with a durable metal roof and a unique double-roof design that enhances insulation.
