Multiple offers received, Please submit your highest and best offer by Wednesday July 24 at 11:0AM ***Yes this house and the price are for real - huge price drop as the seller wants it sold so don't snooze!!!***Try on this charming and extra spacious brick Victorian-style Cape Cod in historic downtown Crete, situated on a sprawling 1/2 acre lot. With over 2,883 square feet of living space on the 1st and 2nd floors, this home offers plenty of room for living, lounging, or an extended family. Currently configured as a 2-unit rental, 1st floor is vacant, 2nd floor is occupied by tenant that is moving by end of July. The interior features many vintage elements and was updated before being rented, but it could use some personal touches & decorating to bring back its 'calendar house' beauty, and the price reflects this. The unfinished basement is perfect for storage or the potential for additional living space. The side drive leads to a 3-car garage, which also needs some work. Easily shown but please provide ample notice as courtesy to view tenant's occupied unit. *** At Only $65 per square foot, this is best deal in-town! ***
