First chance to buy this house in 40 years. Modern changes have been made but there is still an opportunity for the buyer to make this home their own. Covered porch, detached garage with plenty of storage. Outside entrance to the basement. Beautiful stone fireplace in living room. Great space on the third floor. Significant Price Reduction to compensate for necessary repairs.
