About this home
This 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home needs lots of TLC. Unbeknownst to the owner, the tenant made many unapproved modifications. The tenant lived in the home for 15 years. Prior to tenant occupancy it was a beautiful home with great pride of ownership. This home has good bones. The exterior is in decent shape. The interior needs lots, and lots, and lots, of work and elbow grease. The tenants made this home look like a bad dream, however, this is an opportunity where you can turn it into your dream home! Get out the paint brushes, buckets, cleaning tools, and your imagination. There is nowhere to go but up with this sad home. :( Turn that frown upside down! :) It is priced to give you the wiggle room necessary to make your dreams come true!
