This is a wonderful opportunity for someone to fix up a historic house!! The house has plenty of charm, but needs a finishing touch or two. This three bedroom two full bathroom home is wonderful for anyone who is handy or looking for a small challenge. This is a possible short sale but do not let that dismay you from writing an offer.
