Property Description

Get yourself on over to Guthrie! This sweet little cottage has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, boasts fresh new landscaping, and beckons you to take a closer look.

A separate living room, two spacious bedrooms, and an updated bathroom make for delightful one-level living. The improvements go far beyond what meets the eye.
