Pretty she isn't but WHAT a personality! THIS VINTAGE CHARMER HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS . .. but what an amazing transformation can be made here on on an AMAZING corner lot smack dab in the down town business district. 2 beds with room for a 3rd and it appears many of the systems including electric, boiler and plumbing have been updated but the interior is need of love. Rental, bed & breakfast, business in the lower and live in the upper - LOADS of options from retail to residential just needs those who CAN DO to hustle in vs just those that wish & hope Cellar basement is surprisingly nice for the age, detached 2car+ garage and if used for retail there is plenty of rear yard that can be converted to parking. Local business owner that needs VISIBILITY for your office down and rent the upper? Rent the garage? CASH OFFERS ONLY and proof of funds must be submitted with all offers. If ANY questions on future use or zoning changes please call the town of Chesterton. REO SALE - ALL SALES ARE AS IS
