This property is located close to downtown and the schools, and not far from the access to the Jefferson County Trail System. Could be perfect for a starter home with some invested TLC, or could work well as an investment property. The house is priced according to the current condition of the property. Upgrades needed with plumbing, heating, electrical and painting, and other projects of your choice, but priced accordingly.
