Okay investors, realtors or anyone who wants a home in Exeter Township and is not afraid to do a complete remodel. This is your opportunity to buy this home for 200K. If you purchase this home you are paying all closing costs and you can pick your settlement company. However if we settle anywhere other then Conestoga Title Company located at 528 Walnut St in Reading there is an additional 4k going to be added to the purchase price. This home has not been remodeled since 1953. The home is a solid quality construction and used to be the one room school house in Lorane, Pa (Exeter, Twp). This home sits on a very large level lot with a detached 2 car garage. It has a full dry basement with ample headroom and a Bilco door to the back yard. The basement is also only partially below grade so all the windows are at ground level and get plenty of light.
The basement is ideal for a man cave, workshop, family room or anything else you might want.
The first floor would appeal to anyone looking for one floor living since there is 2 bedrooms, Full bathroom, Living room and eat-in kitchen as well as two enclosed porches one on the right side and one just off the kitchen in the rear.
The attic is huge with ample height and would be very easy to add two more bedrooms and another complete bathroom.
The house does need a complete rehab however nothing structural everything is solid no holes in walls etc. The home has a very large flat yard plenty of room for your new pool and deck add a very large garden or whatever else you may want in your yard. You can see the elementary school from the house and you can walk your kids the two blocks to the school. The home is connected to the public sewer and has a well. There is a water main in the street if you would choose to hook up to it. Realtors if you have a buyer you can discuss with me and work something out. Anyone interested just text me at 610 750 1604 I have a scam call blocker on my phone and it might block you if you call. The after repair value is in the high 300's to lower 400's.
