Very private in the rear with mature poplar, fir, and pine trees that create a nice buffer. The house is a 1966 multi level that is being sold in "as is" condition. Highest and best use is as a tear down for new construction or a total gut rehab/ rebuild on existing foundation. Separate billing for sprinkler system.
