My family has lived in this house for 57 years. 5 miles from NYC. A several buses to the Port of Authority each morning that use a bus lane during rush hour. At the end of the day, the bus will leave you one block from the house's street.
The train station is a hop skip and a jump from where you live and can get you about anywhere.
One of the most coveted sections of town.
A large backyard with a Magnolia tree and unheard of giant 3 car garage.
Quiet and peaceful with a deck over looking the yard.
115 years old.
Woodwork is old school, hardwood with some sections inlayed. Plaster walls.
Much of the interior needs refinishing (paint, wood restoration, the basement in the small laundry room needs a new floor, some window work, etc.). Some of this work I'm considering starting but how much work I put into that will determine the flexibility of the final price negotiations.
Addendum: buried oil tank mentioned in a previous edit has been taken care of and ground passed inspection so those seeking a mortgage are safe to do so.
Downstairs is a large Dining room and equally large Living room with an smaller office space off the Living room connected by French doors. Kitchen is medium sized and there's a quarter Bath on the lower level as you enter the back door off the hall way. A good sized pantry faces this bathroom.
Upstairs there is a very large Master bedroom and two generously sized, other bedrooms and a full sized Bathroom. Here you'll find the pull down ladder to the large sized attic covering most of the upstairs dimensions.
The Basement is large and is prepped to be a truly finished space. There is a bar in this basement.
Heat is oil which I have considered converting to gas. This is about a $7000 dollar investment that can pay for itself in a year and a half considering current oil prices.
Taxes are very reasonable as are the utilities.
With the right vision and investing maybe another $75K, this house could make one very happy.
This would be best a 'cash' sale. And anyone interested that contacts me should leave a message whether they are an individual or a real estate agent. With no mention of either, call will be ignored. For no I a selling the property 'by owner. Should this change and indeed the house sells through an agent, the agent's commission will be paid by the buyer.
