3 Bed 2 Bath Near Athens, Priced for the Work It Needs. Solid bones, a great location, and room to build equity. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath two story in The Plains is within walking distance of Athens High School and minutes from Athens and Ohio University, in the Athens City School District. About 1,624 square feet with an arched doorway and original wood trim, a living room that opens to the dining room, an oak kitchen with a breakfast bar, and main floor laundry. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a walk in closet and a sliding door that looks out over open green space. There is a full basement, a detached one car garage, vinyl siding, and a hot water tank that appears newer. Buyers should know what it needs: the furnace and central air do not work and will need to be replaced, and the interior is ready for updating. PLEASE NOTE: the back porch and back patio are unsafe. Do not walk on them. Both need to be rebuilt. The home can be lived in, but it needs a lot of TLC, and it is priced accordingly. A real opportunity for the right buyer or investor.
