Cottage located in area known as Joyland off Hwy 98. Seller says quiet, well maintained street, with good neighbors. Large backyard, plant a garden! Deed says home was built in 1952. Homes during that period were constructed by pier construction for the foundation. Curtain walls were added later. Current owner purchased it in the mid 1970's. Interior walls have some wallboard - early sheetrock. Inside walls are primarily paneling installed in the 1970's. Behind the paneling is some wider beaded board tongue and groove and either tongue and groove boards or planks of wood siding on the walls. The only fireplace was in the front left room and is covered over by paneling. Its condition is unknown. Home needs a new roof. Newer heating and air conditioning system. Kitchen updated in early 2000's as well as ductwork under the house. Shared driveway. A portion of the crawl space is tall. There may be some structural work and drainage work to be done. Four rooms have closets. Utility room/side porch is heated by vent close by in the kitchen. Being sold "as-is".
