About This Home
As of February 2023Awesome potential with this large 5 bedroom home! A covered front porch greets you a you approach the home. Enter through the tiled vestibule into the spacious Living Room that is centered by a decorative fireplace, original, hand crafted stained wood work , and attractive stained glass atop the front window. A pocket door lay between the Living Room and Formal Dining Room. The Kitchen is roomy and includes updated cabinetry, and a half bath to the rear of the home. A second staircase from the Kitchen also leads upstairs. Upstairs, the Primary Bedroom affords plenty of space and a bay window allows natural light to pour into the room. Two more bedrooms, a large full bath, and an additional room that could be an office, walk-in dressing room or nursery fill out the 2nd floor. The third floor includes two more private large bedrooms! There is evidence of water leakage into the home, but it appears to be old. The condition of the roof is unknown, but the rear rubber roof looks newer. The home will need some work to get it it to shine again, but it is priced accordingly. A GREAT opportunity for an investor to flip or rent. This is an estate and being sold in "As Is" condition. It appears that home was using electric baseboard heat, oil tanks and furnace is still in home, but their operational capabilities are unknown.
