A 1 bedroom sold furnished minus a few personal exclusions. The full bath with claw tub & shower. Kitchen has a gas stove, dishwasher, & an eat in kitchen, with lots of cabinetry & storage space. Off the kitchen is the back deck that offers seclusion, with the exception of some visiting wildlife...(see photos of the family that visited while I was there). Nice size living room w/ a nearly 8' wide hallway that currently serves as an office space. There is washer/dryer hook ups in the bathroom. Closet has furnace & water heater so you don't have to go in crawl space - however, access is in the bathroom & in the kitchen. Built in the 1850's it's said to have once been a "pool hall" for the Miners. Newer concrete driveway poured for off street parking out front. Water Heater is 2 +/- years old. Seller is offering the Buyer a 14 month Home Warranty at closing-valued at $550.
