Description

What an amazing estate awaits you here. A crazy 1/2 acre in town lot with a monster 3+ Finished garage in a Norman Rockwell like setting on the corner of Washington and College avenue. Truly a must-see as pictures don't do justice for the amount of space here. Partially finished basement with kitchenette, a 2nd laundry on the upper level. Possible 4-5 bedrooms and looks like the home went through a total renovation when it's sold in 2020. REO property now so be sure to ask an agent about requirements...What an amazing estate awaits you here. A crazy 1/2 acre in town lot with a monster 3+ Finished garage in a Norman Rockwell like setting on the corner of Washington and College avenue. Truly a must-see as pictures don't do justice for the amount of space here. Partially finished basement with kitchenette, a 2nd laundry on the upper level. Possible 4-5 bedrooms and looks like the home went through a total renovation when it's sold in 2020. REO property now so be sure to ask an agent about requirements to submission of offers and any wanted inspections. Priced aggressively for a quick sale but rest assured being sold AS IS for this price and seller will do or make no repairs or credits for any needed post home inspection or for financing/appraisal. Utilities are on and no alterations of the home will be allowed to be made prior to closing. Ask an agent for details on the REO process. Once an Indiana board contract with POF and/or Approval are reviewed and terms are conditionally accepted online by the sellers asset manager a full REO addendum will be sent for client signatures before a complete contract is deemed accepted.
