What's special

One-car detached garage

Craftsman-style 2-bed, 1.5-bath with original character and two enclosed front porches adding 224 sqft of bonus space not included in the living area. Inside, original hardwood floors run through the main level and upper bedrooms. The kitchen connects to a walk-in pantry with built-in shelving on three walls - a detail worth keeping. The home needs a full renovation: kitchen, baths, ceilings, roof, and foundation all require significant work. One-car detached garage. Bank-owned, selling in AS IS condition. Priced with condition in mind. Cash or conventional financing appropriate to condition of home. Call your agent to schedule a showing.
