About This Home
As of November 2016Incredible Opportunity - beautiful and very unique Tudor-style single family detached home on more than 1/2 an acre of land in Antietam School District for under $100,000, complete with Home Warranty! This secluded, incredibly peaceful Mount Penn home is situated on a wooded lot, and features the most beautiful original details inside, including gorgeous wood trim everywhere (probably hardwood floors under every carpet!), a stunning Bow Window in the master bedroom, beautiful Cathedral ceiling, fireplace and huge deck in what was previously used as an upper living room but could easily be turned into a fourth (HUGE) new master bedroom, a large coachhouse on the property (which is not in good shape but may provide some great potential), a two-car carport, a beautiful garden waiting for the right gardener to appreciate it, central air, gas heat and there's even a little 2-person elevator from the main floor up to the huge upstairs livingroom for handicap access. House is sold As Is, it does need updating and some TLC, but this would be a perfect candidate for the FHA 203K mortgage, where a buyer can borrow the funds to fully update a property, or even the Tompkins VIST Community One program (100% financing with no mortgage insurance). Don't miss this incredible chance to own this one-of-a-kind property!
