About This Home

As of May 2017

WOW! If the walls could talk - this property was a real gem in it's time!! Large home with 12 bedrooms, 4 baths and 4 kitchens (only 8 bedrooms if you keep the kitchens) Once a 4 unit, it has been reclassified as a single home. Great for a large extended family to still maintain space and privacy. Being sold in "as is" condition - property does have a new roof and that is documented. make this your home - Great potential!!!
