Two homes and a third lot. Main house could use some updating, but is livable as is. Main floor has 2BR/1bth. Upstairs is finished with 2Br. and 1/2 bath and a large room. Upstairs is not included in SQFT. due to low ceiling height and not connected to heat. Second house is a 3BR/1BTH Home is in need of total rehab due to existing roof leeks. Listing has great potential and is priced to sell.
