At the end of a cul-de-sac on . 58 acres with a huge backyard, it feels like country in the city. This house is a true fixer-upper with so much potential! It needs paint, flooring, appliances, exterior paint to update the color and other work. New roof 2010. Walk-up from family room to garage. Large shed. The 3-season porch grants access to an expansive deck on all three sides. One could put $75,000 into marvelous upgrades and the house would support the new value.
