This classic farmhouse was built in 1900. Since the 1970s is has been busing raising a family of 13, and now it's now ready for its next adventure! Sitting on a double lot in a wonderful family neighborhood, this home is close to everything and offers multiple options for a handy buyer or an investor. Our pre-sale home inspection indicated a solid foundation, newer vinyl windows, a brand new roof, and older mechanicals in well-maintained working condition. Inside, original hardwood floors are in good shape and ready for refinishing. As my seller told me, "Mama loved wood paneling..." and indeed she did! The interior is fully paneled, except for the third floor which is nicely updated and has new engineered flooring. The kitchen and bathrooms are fully functional and ready for your design ideas and updates. The fantastic garage can function as intended, or become a workshop, art studio, or guest cottage...the possibilities are endless. Even better, this property is a double lot and there may be an opportunity to subdivide and build an additional home (buyers must do their own due diligence). This is not a turn-key home, but If you're interested in a project that will be worth your time and investment, this may be your next home!
