Listen to the sounds of the river from the covered front entry porch. Eat-in Kitchen with appliances and laundry, plus a separate dining room available. Two first floor bedrooms and full bathroom, too! Enclosed rear porch. Softwood flooring upstairs. Large open room to the left at the top of the stairwell would make a nice office space or den, right outside the largest of the bedrooms. Some vinyl replacement windows. Standing seam metal roof. Storage space in the basement area of the barn and under the rear porch, accessed from outside. Sure, the house needs some wood repair and exterior paint, but the inside, which has only recently been vacated by tenant, is livable, on day 1. Fresh paint and replacement carpets would really make a big difference. Adjacent residence has right-of-way driveway across this property. Portion of the subject lot to the east side of driveway, down towards the river frontage, is considered flood plain according to available FEMA maps. House is in close proximity to thru street and active rail road tracks.
