    Extraordinary home in a great near west end location with sooooo many rooms and a beautiful back deck/ back fenced yard. A current tenant is in place for $900/ month, but they would love to purchase CFD or continue renting, or will move out if you want the home to live in as it is extraordinary for the price :). The seller also will consider selling CFD, but would require a higher purchase price.
