Description

This home is a fairly major 'fixer', but the seller says the home can be salvaged. However, the buyer can 'scrape the lot' and build a much larger new home, which is the trend in the area. The current home consists of two bedrooms, one bath, has about 750 sq.ft. of living area sitting on a 6,797 sq.ft. lot and was built in 1924. There is a studio apartment with -3/4 bath and kitchen area located at the rear of the property (we are not sure if this is a permitted unit). There is also a one-car garage...This home is a fairly major 'fixer', but the seller says the home can be salvaged.
