Offer Accepted- Taking Back-up Offers. Very cute country home on a 1/2 acre on the East side of Columbia City that has recently been remodeled and nicely maintained. New carpet and paint on the main level and a new natural gas forced air furnace was installed in 2014. There are original hardwood floors under the carpet on the second level. The newer outbuilding would make a perfect workshop or garage. Buyers are welcome to have a home inspection and it's in great shape but is being sold as is condition. Cash or conventional only.
