    If these walls could talk... Built in 1885, this distinctive 4-bedroom home offers approximately 2,906 square feet and is filled with the character that makes historic homes special. Original-style woodwork, hardwood floors, French doors, tall ceilings, a bay window, vintage radiators and a welcoming covered porch provide an incredible starting point for restoration. Situated on approximately .25 acre with a full basement and detached garage, the property offers substantial space and potential for the buyer ready to take on a renovation. This property requires significant rehabilitation and is being sold AS-IS. The plumbing system is currently nonfunctional following freeze damage, and the boiler/heating system is not operational. Buyers should perform their own inspections and due diligence regarding all mechanical systems and property condition. Seller will make no repairs. This property is scheduled for water line replacement as part of the Creston Water Works lead line replacement project. This is a main to meter replacement at no cost to the homeowner. This isn't a cosmetic weekend project-but for the right buyer, it's an opportunity to restore a remarkable old home and give it its next chapter.
