Listing Description

**Calling all investors and rehabbers!** Make no mistake about it, this home is a fixer-upper, but what an opportunity to bring new life to a home with over 125 years of history! This one-story home offers tremendous potential for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and make it shine again.

While renovations are needed, several important improvements have already been completed, including a new water heater (2018), furnace (2020), roof (2020), copper plumbing (2025), and remodeled bathroom (2025). Inside, you'll find two bedrooms, one full bathroom, a spacious living room, eat-in kitchen, and charming enclosed front porch.

The kitchen features beautiful custom built-in wood cabinetry, potentially original to the home, just waiting to be restored to its former glory! Additional features include a full unfinished basement and a two-car detached garage. The home has been completely cleaned out, with all personal belongings removed, so there's no waiting around to get started on your renovation plans!

Ready for a quick sale and immediate transformation. **Property is being sold strictly AS IS, WHERE IS.** Bring your vision, your tools, and your imagination!
