About this home
I could be a wonderful place to live with a generous lot and some historic character. I need your love and your time and energy to fulfill my potential. My Owner was leaving her home the day of the July, 2023 to come to live here and finish the renovations. My basement and the surrounding landscape were totally flooded. Luckily it did not reach the first floor. The electrical (200 amp) and the septic had been replaced in the last few years. Now that my foundation, the electrical, and the septic need to be repaired again, it is too much for this owner. Please consider putting me back together. Many high quality materials are waiting to be installed to make me beautiful; such as, oil rubbed bronze chandelier, custom-ordered Marvin windows with black exterior finish, solid wood exterior doors with full glass panels, sliding-barn-door hardware with a very heavy four panel door, solid wood cabinets, and wood flooring. Seller has an estimate for repairing landscape and septic.
Handyman Special! Charming Farmhouse seeks someone with lots of energy. Due to circumstances having nothing to do with the house, the sellers are reluctantly letting go of their project. The first floor has been gutted and partially renovated, a new 3 bedroom septic was installed in 2021. A Full bathroom has been framed and roughed in, with the toilet installed and functional. A shower has been framed, and includes a Kohler solid surface base. A large portion of the first floor has been completely reframed and the ceiling features original exposed wooden beams. A Jotul woodstove has been installed and is the primary heating source at this time. The house will convey with two additional propane stoves for heating, and there is electrical heat in the bathroom. The electrical panel has been updated to 200 amp, and new electrical fixtures will convey. Including an oil rubbed bronze chandelier from Ballard Designs. Brand new, custom-ordered Marvin windows, with black exterior finish, Marvin solid wood exterior doors with full glass panels, sliding-barn-door hardware with a very heavy four panel door will are included. A complete kitchen of solid wood cabinetry in crisp white, with modern brass hardware are included.
