Motivated Seller - bring offers - investor special! Home needs a little TLC (paint, flooring and other cosmetic updates etc) - no septic record found (agents see media) though seller believes it is on a septic. Seller has not lived in the home in many years so buyer must verify everything important to them as it will be sold as-is with no concessions. 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath with back patio and fire pit!
