Located on a tranquil 1.47acres in historic Elk Park this country cottage has a lot to offer for someone looking for a project. It was built in 1957. There is a lot of country charm to be had with the old barn, gazebo, a flat yard and the small stream towards the back of the property. The living room and kitchen are large and there are 2 bedrooms and 1 bath on the main level. Upstairs there are 2 additional rooms that could also be used as bedrooms, or a bedroom and a bonus room. On the upper side of the lot there is a flat site with its own septic and a hook up to the well where a RV could sit. Renters have recently not taken good care of the home and there was a bathtub leak at the back of the house that has resulted in some fungal growth. Needless to say this area needs remediation and remodeling. The majority of the home has original hard wood floors and there is a very dry root cellar and stable foundation under the front of the home. It is being sold as-is.
