About this home

This gem is back on the market! Estate issues settled; this is a court-ordered sale. And oh, the promise of this place! 2.44 acres - or 3.25 acres? Buyers may want survey. Easily divided for a second homesite (look at the GIS map). Ultimate privacy. This is a fixer-upper and needs new: bath, kitchen & electrical, refinish the floors, and see to a foundation issue, but what character and warmth! Hardwood floors, TIG wood walls, real wood trim, fab rock fireplace w/insert that will heat the whole house. A light-filled office off the living room. Eat-in kitchen. Walk-In pantry. A huge pear tree. Blueberries. HUGE oaks, a gazillion azaleas. Many stunning spring blooms; just unbelievable beauty. Outbuildings also need repair or removal; formerly garage or tractor shed, workshop. Driveway from Old River Rd. needs work; use drive from Hwy. 70. As-Is: seller will make no repairs. Sale subject to court approval/upset bids. AS-IS. Seller will make no repairs! APPOINTMENT required.
