Attention Investors! This lovely cottage has been a successful rental for years. With great hardwood floors through main level, recent paint, some upgrades to bathroom, newer windows and roof there are many ways in which it is ready to go. But there is a water intrusion issue in the basement which has caused some foundation cracking. It's fixable, just not something the sellers wish to tackle. Priced accordingly. Full unfinished basement with gutted full bathroom has serious potential!
