Features include a new roof, hardwood floors underneath carpet, and a first-floor bed/full-bath.

Prudential American Homes

If your pet peeve is having to head out for last-minute groceries, why not live right across from the Dominick’s supermarket? This home may need a bit of repair, but it’s worth it for the stone fireplace, 2 1/2-car garage and location near Ridge Acres Park. Realtor says, “charming cape with plenty of room and loads of potential… could be a handyman special, bring your ideas!”
