Realtor Comments
All gable, fascia, and soffit woodwork was restored or replaced. Extensive tuck-pointing has been done to the exterior of the home. The seller removed 35 trees, demolished the old garage, and removed all knob and tube wiring. There is a brand new copper water line from the road to the house. Also, most of the subfloor upstairs has been replaced. Bring your ideas and imagination to finish restoring this old gem! All information is deemed to be accurate, but not guaranteed. The home is being sold as-is.
