About This Home
As of July 2025This darling 50's home needs your tender loving care and is to be purchased AS IS. Lots of potential here for a handy person. Three bedroom - 1 bath in the charming Fairplain community. Full basement with fireplace would make a nice family room. Pipes burst over the winter. You're just a few blocks from Carronde Park on the St. Joe River with a boat launch that takes you out to Lake Michigan, tennis courts, play area and picnic pavillion.
