Rare acreage in Mt Vernon city limits! This home has great bones and with the right vision can offer someone a great home with a full acre to roam. The lower level of this home has been stripped down to the studs due to a water pipe breach and awaits renovation. The 2nd level did not experience water damage from a busted pipe and is intact.
