This large and beautiful property was in the middle of being rehabbed. There is new plumbing and electrical throughout. The floor has been opened and there's plenty of space to reclaim. This could be the perfect property for an investor looking to finish and collect rents. This could also use those finishing touches that would turn it into a large personal home. Owner is very motivated.
