Realtor Comments
Flip or renovate for yourself, this edge-of-town opportunity stands ready for your sweat equity and vision. Youll love the wide trim and staircase, and the large 0.62 acre lot that feels almost like youre in the country. Main-level floorplan includes a living room, family room, dining room, kitchen (laundry hook-ups in kitchen), two bedrooms, and one bathroom. Upper level includes a huge bedroom and attic storage. The white storm windows against the nice, tan vinyl siding make the exterior really pop. Sellers know the house has a lot of obstacles to overcome and have priced it accordingly. Property is selling As-Is, Where-Is. If you arent afraid of a project, roll up your sleeves and get to work restoring this propertys potential!
