Several of the replacement windows will need new glass segments. The walls will need scrubbing and minor patching. The fireplace in the living room could come back to life with cleaning or a new liner, most likely. The roof is old and will need immediate replacement, and has a small leak. All the entry doors are worn and dated, but function properly. Both bathrooms and the kitchen are dated. The basement is mostly finished 70's style, and features a finished bedroom with built-in wall storage. There is also a kitchen area with a stove and refrigerator for quick meals or entertaining. There is a workshop area with laundry and a separate office. The basement appears to be dry. Tucked away in the back corner of the basement is a large storage room. The HVAC is working. The yard is large and private, but a green thumb is needed to bring it back to life. The house is being sold as is. AGENT HAS INFORMATION FOR FHA CONSTRUCTION/RENOVATION FINANCING.
