## Description

### Agent Description
Home still needs significant work: no functioning kitchen, upstairs bath not operational, roof patched, and some original wiring/plumbing remain. Step into Valley Head history with this 1920 landmark known as the Zeller House. This 6-bedroom, 2-bath home offers classic character-stone foundation, transom doors, original wood floors, and a historic porte cochere. Major updates include new HVAC and ductwork, new downstairs windows, tankless water heater, and an updated septic system. A rare opportunity to finish a historic home your way near Valley Head School, I-59, and Mentone.
