Great investor home and property with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath on 2.50 incredible acres. The living room boasts a wonderful masonry fireplace and a large picture window to look out at the peaceful mountain view. This one-level ranch-style home has great bones however needs some cosmetic fixes. Most all the walls are covered with wormy chestnut from the property and are beautiful. If that’s not your style with some delicate demo it could be removed and repurposed. This is a beautiful piece of property with a running stream and lots of level land. There's an old barn on the property which could be torn down and you could repurpose the barn wood. The property could possibly be split into several lots. You'd have to check with planning and zoning. City water runs in front of this property. With some fixing up this could be your dream home and a great investment. (Owner had a new roof put on the house along with some other fixes.

These areas are not likely to have public water and sewer services available, and the minimum required lot area will be one acre unless additional land area is required for adequate sewage disposal.
