FIXER UPPER!! Needs a good bit of repair but could be an adorable ranch home. A great rental property, or could be a quiet retirement or first home. A large 1.61 acre lot gives you plenty of room to expand. New well pump installed in 2017. There's already a detached carport and two small storage buildings. Please use the deck on the right side of the house to enter. Do not use decks marked off with red tape. Septic permit issued for 2 bedrooms. House sold AS IS WHERE IS.
