Property Description
Featuring 3.98 ac of wooded land this property has been waiting for someone with the vision, skills, and determination to bring it back to life. Following a fire in May 2022, the owners and their family have done what they can to preserve the property, and there is a surprising amount of potential waiting to be uncovered. While fire damage is present and the property will require substantial rehabilitation, the home has far less water and mold damage than you might expect from a property of this nature. That said, some moisture and mold damage is present and buyers should conduct their own inspections and due diligence. Underneath it all are some truly special features—including beautiful fireplaces on both lower levels, a spacious kitchen with knotty-pine, a convenient double-door entry, and a separate mudroom entry that adds practical functionality. For the right contractor, investor, or ambitious buyer, this could be the chance to transform a damaged house into something special.
