Welcome to 3314 S Watson Rd, St. Johns MI. This property has some wonderful attributes like a newly remodeled 1st floor bathroom, 2018 permitted septic system, wood floors, large eat in kitchen and formal dining area. Outside there is an old red barn, large pole barn, circle drive and it is in the Ovid-Elsie School District. It has a low traveled dirt road ending that ends at the property. This property also has some challenges. While the old red barn was once a show piece it appears as though the foundation is failing in many spots. The basement of the farmhouse was at one time remodeled, as the cement block is newer than the age of the home, but there is a substantial amount of water in the basement and we couldn't find a sub surface crock. Just a non-working surface pump. I was told that the 2nd bathroom upstairs has never worked. Lastly, the property line is as it shows, going right through the older barn on the north side. This property will be sold "as is", without repairs. A conventional loan may be possible (please have your realtor read the agent to agent remarks on the MLS). Seller has this property priced so the buyer will have some room to address those challenges. Showings are by appointment only with a licensed realtor.
