Attention investors and rehabbers -- this is a rare opportunity for a home that has had some major repairs done, and is ready for the rest. The renters are out and now is your chance to get this place ready for real urban-farmer living. As Roy Rogers said "They are not making any more land" and this property has plenty of it! 2+ acres with apple trees, walnut trees, grape vines, room for a very very large garden. The asphalt drive on the south of the property (owned) will take you to the back acreage where there is space galore! You also have a mature trees and landscape, and a 2 1/2 car garage with a separate work shop. There is also an asphalt driveway to the south of the home, on the property, that goes to the back garden area. The farm-house features the work you know you want done: newer roof, water heater, some newer windows and updated electric. First floor laundry and full bath, eat in kitchen, formal dining room, open floor plan and original wood floors in the upstairs bedrooms. Are you ready for the space you want? Have a hammer? This home needs work, so be ready and remember it was lived in and rented until listed. This place could be a dream if you are up for the challenge. It is all here. Near schools and transportation but with that country feel as most of the acreage is in the rear of the home. Home is being sold as is only! No repairs or additional work will be done.
