This lovely South of Grand home might be a bit dated, but the bones are fantastic and so is the original woodwork and wood floors. Built in 1920, it was remodeled in 1984 and features 6 bedrooms (two on the main floor and one would make a nice first-floor office), a full bath on the main floor, and a formal dining room. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf gas range and a Bosch dishwasher. There are 4 bedrooms up, including one with two walk-in closets. The large detached garage was built in 1985 and features tons of elevated storage. There also is an extra lot behind the home that is included with the sale. Any offers are due by 2 p.m Sunday with a response later that day. Home is being sold AS-IS as it is an estate.
