    If you love a classic, this 1918 2 story Victorian home with 4 BR's and 2 full baths could be your dream home. The home was vacated last fall with the utilities shut off, so there's currently about a foot of water in the basement, and some damage due to that to the Hvac and hot water heater. Priced to sell as a SHORT SALE, so it could take some time to close. Please read disclosures!
