Realtor Comments
Restore this home to it’s former glory! So much potential in this large older home. There is a walk-out basement with plumbing for an additional bathroom. High ceilings make this home feel more spacious. There could be a staircase added and convert the attic into another story to gain additional square footage or finish out the basement. SO MANY OPTIONS!! Come take a look and let your design skills run wild!
