This has been a 35 year good rental house. Long time renters just bought a house. This house looks the best inside and out as it ever has. New roof and guttering in October 2025 and new HVAC this spring. I am ready to retire from
rentals. Looking for a cash sale. North and south foundation(basement) walls have looked wonky for 35 years and probably will not pass today's bank loan or real estate agent guidelines. No real estate agents or lookie loos, please!
Lot is worth twice what the house is worth.
