Excellent opportunity to renovate this charming piece of history in desirable Sterling. The house needs a massive amount of work and for that reason ONLY cash offers will be considered. Seller has never lived at the property. Buyer must do all due diligence prior to making an offer as offers with inspection contingencies will not be accepted. Seller will not be providing a title 5 or smoke certs and will not consider offers contingent upon buyer obtaining a title 5. Best to assume it needs a new septic and the property has been priced accordingly. Not for the faint of heart but there is a lot of potential to bring this old beauty back to life!
