Home offers character, large formal living & dining room, hardwood floors, large country kitchen with ample cabinets and counter space, rear deck, detached garage. Staircase was added and 2nd floor was finished with two additional rooms (still needs H/A and floor coverings). See attached documents for floor plan. Also ample room to add a full bath upstairs. Two gas heaters and two mini split systems are downstairs. Metal roof. The house needs some TLC and is being sold AS IS. It is part of an estate, and the seller is NOT willing to make any repairs. The estate is having a Home Inspection done, and will share with a pre-qualified buyer prior to an offer being written.
