What's special

Central airFull basement

Very unique home with central air. Great opportunity for someone looking to make this home their own. Perfect for a couple but can be expanded for a full family with the right vision. Also perfect for an investor looking to update and expand. Many possibilities! Has a full basement but needs some alteration to fit current codes so house is being sold as is. If interested feel free to make me a cash offer or come bid for the property. I would like to see someone with vision take this house like I had when I bought it back in 2008. Like I said very unique and in no rush to sell so low ballers beware. Stay away. We may complete the downstairs issues and change our mind to sell it so hurry if interested. I always loved this house. Also features an outside converted greenhouse/storage or whatever room next to the gazebo. House was painted and had trim added in 2023 with an update to deck boards and repairs. House has charm it just needs the right people.
