Buyer backed out, from no fault of seller!! NEW ROOF (Will be installed before closing) 5 acres in New Berlin school district doesn't come along very often! And this property is even more rare, because it also has city water AND a large pole barn with electricity. The property is mostly cleared with woods at the back of the property. Owner sees groups of deer coming through the property very often! This home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 2 separate living rooms. Owner used second living room as Primary bedroom (it has its own bathroom and closet space). Come and see this beautiful property!
