About This Home

Attention saavy homebuyers and investors: This is a large, detached house with a total of 4,215 square feet of interior space (2,592 finished) on a 5,500 square foot lot.

This property needs significant rehabilitation and is being sold "as-is". There is possible mold inside and viewings are limited with releases required. This is also an estate sale, possible short sale, and tenant-occupied.
