Realtor Comments
This property is up for Public Auction on Wednesday, June 17th @ 5PM! Starting Bid: ONLY $90,000! What a great opportunity to purchase a cape cod style home at Public Auction that has been in the same family since 1960! Some updates have been done over the years including the eat-in kitchen and replacement windows. The property is move-in ready the way it sits, however putting in some sweat equity in the right places will instantly increase the property value. The home consists of 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2,012 square feet sitting on 0.26 acres. Property also features a sun parlor front room, living room with fireplace, dining area and nice eat-in kitchen. The full, unfinished basement has a cement floor and block foundation with exterior access. The lot is large with a nice sized side/rear yard area with deck. Natural gas heat and Central A/C. Lebanon School District. Public water and public sewer. Property is sold AS IS, WHERE IS with no contingencies. Auction will be held “on-site”. MORE PHOTOS COMING SOON!
