Welcome to 988 Mt Vernon Rd Newark Ohio. Price improved! Unique opportunity to own almost a whole acre with a large home, fabulous back deck, and large fenced yard! Just needs your TLC and personal touch to finish. The sellers just purchased this home early this year and unexpectedly must move. They have done a lot of work on the home, but do not have time to finish as they prepare to move again. Home can be lived in as you finish the work, just as they are doing. Every part of this home is being used right now. There are 3 full baths. The upstairs bathroom has been remodeled. They began painting but it will need to be finished. The floors and doors were going to be last once the rest was completed. The home also has a newer furnace and new hot water tank. It's ready for the new owners to take over and finish the work. It is difficult to find a home with this much yard and this much space, so bring your imagination and working gloves and make it wonderful again! There is a lot of opportunity here! Sellers willing to offer an allowance towards new floors. Make an appointment today! Property extends past fenced yard. Selling as-is.
