Welcome to the Vanished Town of Norwood! If you're looking for a home with history, land and interior updates, this one is a must see! This quaint 2 bedroom 1 bath home sits on 10.67 acres with a horse barn, livestock area and detached garage/shop. Located only 15 minutes from South Lawrence off of Hwy 59.
Cute little dollhouse on over 10 acres just north of Ottawa. Great highway access to get to Ottawa or Lawrence pretty quick. Lots has been done, but there's still room to make some sweat equity. Please verify all info and double check the school district. This house is exactly on the line. Priced to sell as-is, although inspections are always welcome. This house is expected to sell fast, but we will try to accommodate all showings.
