About This Home
As of February 2025If you purchase this home, you might get arrested - because it's a STEAL. Priced at $69,900 is another crime, but take advantage of the anarchy and make your offer today. It's also criminal that the character of this beautiful 1925-built home hasn't been taken care of and needs to be delicately put back together. It's been robbed of its charm but is seeking a new owner who will put some effort in and get it up and running, but don't let it escape. The first floor has hardwood floors and an ornamental fireplace and a large kitchen. The detached garage has heat for convenience. Upstairs find 3 bedrooms that will transform into comfortable spaces with your paint and flooring choices. This home is the reason HomePath Renovation loans exist, get financing for the home AND the repairs - purchase this property for as little as 3% down - ask for details. This is a Fannie Mae HomePath property. This property is approved for HomePath Renovation Mortgage Financing.
