This One-Level Rancher (over a Finished Basement) is a solid, family home. The home has been loved by this family for nearly 40 years. The Shallowford Hills Subdivision is comprised of approx 50 lots and approximately half of the ownerships are longer than ten years. The subdivision is located in close proximity to schools, employment, hospitals, shopping and major commuter routes. The home enjoys a large level front yard and wide driveway with ample turn-around court serving a basement level double-garage / work shop area.
