Offered for the first time in over 60 years, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Auburn history in an exceptional location. Nestled on a beautifully wooded lot with mature landscaping and towering trees, this 6-bedroom, 4-bath home offers the kind of setting that is increasingly difficult to find. Tucked away among established homes and surrounded by lush greenery, the property provides privacy, character, and endless potential. The home itself is ready for its next chapter. With over six decades of ownership, it presents a unique opportunity for a buyer with vision to restore, renovate, or reimagine the space into something truly special. Original hardwood floors, multiple living areas, a screened porch, and a walk-out basement including a huge rec room and workshop provide a strong foundation for transformation. Outside, the expansive yard is a standout feature. Mature trees, established plantings, and generous outdoor space create a park-like setting rarely found this close to everything Auburn has to offer. Whether you're searching for a renovation project, an investment opportunity, or the ideal site to create your forever home, properties with this combination of location, lot, and potential seldom become available. Bring your imagination and discover the possibilities awaiting at this one-of-a-kind property. Property to be sold in as-is condition with no warranties or guarantees made. Sellers acknowledge potential asbestos under tile in kitchen.
