{{ HOME IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING MINOR RENOVATION AND COSMETIC UPGRADES. EXP. DATE OF COMPLETION, MID-LATE FALL OF '15, OR POSSIBLY BEFORE. }} Historic 95 year old, 2414 Sq. Ft. one time boarding home many years ago, two story brick and frame, 5+ BR, 2 Full Baths, LR, formal DR, bright and spacious eat in kitchen. Other features include a fully operational, monitored, home security system with hard wired fire alarm; outbuildings armed with door and motion detected alarm security; a modern, roomy office with its own separate front entrance; newer exterior front doors; two C/A - heat pump systems (upper/lower levels); professionally updated electrical and plumbing; main floor laundry off of kitchen; metal roofing on home and two large storage (one newer construction) buildings; optional greenhouse; nice back yard with mature, fruit bearing pear tree; old fashioned fire kettle; privacy fence and covered wide gate entrance to back porch and door, along with ample off street parking in both front and back. The main level features a living room with newer Appalachian wood burning fireplace insert adding comfort while keeping heating bills low, and a formal dining room nestled between living room and kitchen. Spacious lower level room off of kitchen, used as master bedroom, features a large picture window, walk-in closet storage and (nearly finished) updated bathroom and fixtures. Lighting throughout the lower level of the home has been tastefully updated. Some of the windows have been updated with double pane, tilt-in and a "slider." The stairs and upper level each need cosmetic updating and some generous TLC. This level includes a roomy old kitchen from the boarding home years, two larger bedrooms and other smaller bedrooms, including a full bath with an antique claw-foot bathtub (three rooms were planned to be used in the conversion of old kitchen to an expansive loft master bedroom, bath and large walk-in closet; roughly half of upper level). This very spacious home with outstanding and unlimited potential features loads of history and is in need of a large, loving family with a handy man who is ready, willing and able to do the work involved to their liking, so as to make this offering truly a diamond in the rough. We no longer have the need for such a large home as it's just the two of us now, one disabled - so no stairs. We have relocated to a much more suitable downsized, one level ranch style home. My husband is occasionally at the home, as he still conducts a small amount of business from his office at that location. THIS HOME IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING MINOR COSMETIC RENOVATION, AND WILL LIKELY BE FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. As I've stated previously, there is not that much to do. While this home is not officially for sale at this time, it is neither for rent nor for lease. Therefore, any interested party/parties must be pre-approved by their lender for the price listed, or more if they wish to make an offer. We truly wish to sell this home for the right price, to the right purchasers at any time. We are still open to any and all reasonable offers, but we are not giving it away, as we are not a charity (as some seem to think). The more money we put into this home to sell it will most certainly be reflected in the asking price. As of today, 8/31/14, according to Zillow, this home has appreciated considerably ($12,000) in value in the past couple of months as it sits, and even more so from the initial Make Me Move listing, but we have not increased our pre-market Make Me Move price. Interest rates have gone down some, so don't miss out on this great opportunity. We wish to thank you for taking the time to look at our "golden oldie," and if you or anyone you know has a need for a large home or someone who might be interested in this piece of history, please feel free to share this ad with them or simply send us a note and we'll be more than happy to discuss any details and/or questions you may have. blondee@wildblue.net
