About this home

AMAZING DEAL!! 20 Acres at this incredible price. The house needs work - no doubt about it - but worth the effort when you consider the LOT!! The home is a split level. The lower level has a space for a woodstove, sliders opening to the inground pool. There was 2nd kitchen in one of the rooms but could easily be made into another bedroom. This a large carport attached to the home and a pole barn. 11 acres are cleared, 9 wooded, plus a pond with island and bridge! 1 acre has been planted in Rye grass to attract deer. This a Fannie Mae HomePath property. It qualifies for HomePath Renovation Financing - a great value - only 3% down, no private mortgage insurance, no appraisal fee. And all Fannie Mae properties are transfer tax exempt. Be sure to add this property to your "must see" list today!
