GREAT INVESTMENT PROPERTY !!!! Seller was getting $ 800 per month in rent !!! GREAT PRICE !!!! If you check the COMPS on Decatur Street as well as the Comps in Woodstock, you WILL SEE That There Are Larger Homes of Course Selling for Much More than this. House NEEDS PAINT as well as some TLC- Metal Roof on the Front and the Back but shingles on the main part of the roof-- Front Porch and Back Porch Would be AWESOME with New Paint---Wood Floors in the Family Room and Bedrooms-----Vinyl Windows----House had an Oil Tank but now has Electric Baseboard Heat. Pull Down Attic where it is partially finished upstairs
