About this home
Public Remarks: Owner did not hold back when remodeling this home! He went past cosmetics, doing major updating to the electrical, plumbing, insulation, some drywall, installing a tankless water heater, A/C, adding a full 2nd bath and more! List of improvements available, just ask! The roof all the way down to the sheeting was replaced 5 years ago along with the furnace and windows. Tankless water heater, kitchen remodel, flooring, sump pump, water softener are just some of the larger items done this year! Driveway has been added for parking of multiple vehicles. The home offers a 1st floor bedroom. Basement stairs and porch stairs have been rebuilt. Main bedroom has access to walk in attic space and small 2nd floor private porch! Great home in quaint neighborhood close to downtown for less than 200k!

Bought with Klaske Realt Team*• Keller Williams Realty-Lake Country
This home has GREAT POTENTIAL! Open front porch, hardwood floors, bedroom on main floor, newer furnace, roof and electrical panel. Upstairs bedrooms both have alcoves so they are larger that the measurements say. Walk in attic for storage and full basement. Staircase to basement was recently redone along with the bathroom and kitchen floor. Home had a fire back in April but there is no known structural damage. All utilities are on. Nine windows were broken BUT seller is including NEW WINDOWS for 8 of them! The fire damage is mainly on the wood work in the living room. The whole 1st floor does have smoke damage though. Upstairs was not effected. With the price where it is there is plenty of room for some great sweat equity!! SELLER WILL ONLY CONSIDER CASH OFFERS.
