OK, all you FIXER UPPERS and INVESTORS. This one is for you! Top quality original construction when it was built. Very solid with great floorplan but does need to be redone. One of the heirs began the process, but did not finish it, so you can choose your own destiny with this home. Money to be made on this jewel. This in inherited property so family does not have information as to dates of equipment. Put your ROSE colored glasses on when you step inside and do glance at the price per foot. Roof was put on in 2008 and CH & A installed in 2016 and 2019 according to Manafacturers label
