Realtor Comments
Step back in time and enjoy the beauty and luster of this lovely craftsman style home situated in the heart of the Village of New Concord. This home is in need of love and repair but the end result would be a huge reward. There is amazing wide natural woodwork throughout. Gorgeous solid interior doors. You will be greeted by the amazing leaded glass front door with matching side transoms. Then welcomed into the living room by the stunning fireplace with builtin mirror to reflect the natural light flowing throughout. Fabulous double pocket doors separate the living room from the formal dining room (and who doesn’t love a formal dining room?) And the stairway is incredible! Upstairs has 4 very large bedrooms (2 of them have leaded glass windows). High ceilings and lots of natural light throughout. Hardwood under carpet. 1 full bath on the main level and one full bath upstairs. Full basement. Newer gas hot water tank. Nice level lot located very close to Muskingum University and all other amenities that this sweet Village has to offer. Currently 4 bedroom with possible 5th making this ideal for college students. Would also make a perfect office or retail location. Buyer is encouraged to do their own due diligence regarding the zoning. Agent related to seller.
