This house has lots of character and lots of work to be done! It could be a stunning home but it will take a lot of work and money. It is a very solid home once inside. The exterior doors have been neglected for a long time. The entryways are a main concern as water has damaged the floors. BE CAREFUL ENTERING! The house is a single family but appears it was a two family at some point in time, The Village does allow two units in this area and that is possible with the current floor plan. This is an estate being sold by the personal representative.
