About this home

Opportunity Knocks! This Ranch was built in 1949 and has a 1,160 square foot interior and sits on a 12,000+ square foot lot. Spacious living room, formal dining room and 2 bedrooms. It is currently zoned for single family, residential use, S-15. The existing structure will require extensive renovations and is being sold in as-is condition. Bring your vision to a reality! Huge two bay garage which reportedly housed a commercial towing business for many years. This space may appeal to some woodworking or automotive hobbyists. Buyers or their agents should do their own due diligence regarding possible non –residential uses, required repairs, or replacing the existing structure with new construction. Property is occupied and Seller requests no visits to the lot without an appointment.
