About this home
If you love the brick traditional homes of the 1930s, you will see the potential of this home located only 6 minutes from downtown West Jefferson. If you are a fishing enthusiast, this may be the home for you. Buffalo Creek is a hatchery supported trout stream by the state and it is just across the street from the home. This home is listed as a home that will need repair to bring it to it's full potential. The sellers have based their price on the home selling AS IS with no repairs. The home is not in a development so you can rent the home short term or long term as an investment property. The upstairs attic of the home has lower ceilings but has sheetrock and flooring in place. If you like a workshop there is a 20'x34' cement block garage/workshop just beside the home. The home will need a new roof, thermostatic heat, floor coverings, termite treatment and ceiling repair. Main level square footage is 1260. Sellers have started process to have the termite treatment completed on the home in the next few weeks.
