Realtor Comments

Spacious home on an oversize lot. This property needs some updating but has good “bones” and for those who prefer not to spend money on someone else’s mediocre finish work this would be a great buy. Natural woodwork still in place in many areas. 2 bedrooms down along with formal dining and living room. Bathroom is functional but needs finish work. The upstairs has 2 additional bedrooms and a great loft space to fit your lifestyle needs. The lot provides space and privacy along with a great place for gardening, play or pets. The buyer will need to be a cash purchaser, rehab loan or potentially conventional. No other types of loans will be considered.
