This unique property was built in 1950 as a one-bedroom house — and it's been home to four generations of a family. It's been in the same family since 1950. This house was "way out in the country" when it was built, but Hoover has grown up around it. What was once a great country home is now ready for a new life with a new family. You could live in it exactly as it is or you could renovate and expand the house to make it more like the other homes in this area of Bluff Park. (Sellers have considered adding one or two bedrooms near front bathroom.) Many of the systems of the house have been updated in the last five years, including the roof, HVAC ducts, water heater, septic system. The home needs love and attention if you want to bring it up to date and expand it, but the bones have already been lovingly updated. If you have a desire to be part of the Bluff Park community — and the imagination to see what a beautiful home this could be — this might be just what you've been looking for.
