Description

Here's a renovator's dream. With solid concrete foundations and a sturdy timber frame, this ranch-style two-bedroom home is ready for a facelift. Set on a very pretty 7.7 acres, the house is just minutes from downtown but has the air of a country retreat. There was some water damage earlier this year when a pipe burst, but the damaged carpets and damaged sections of drywall have been removed and are ready for replacement. The basement is dry and has easy walkout access from the yard. A spacious shed...Here's a renovator's dream. With solid concrete foundations and a sturdy timber frame, this ranch-style two-bedroom home is ready for a facelift. Set on a very pretty 7.7 acres, the house is just minutes from downtown but has the air of a country retreat. There was some water damage earlier this year when a pipe burst, but the damaged carpets and damaged sections of drywall have been removed and are ready for replacement. The basement is dry and has easy walkout access from the yard. A spacious shed with a concrete floor provides additional room for storage. The house is being sold as is. It will not qualify for VA or FHA loans.
