Next Steps

Two steps need to be completed before work on the house can begin in earnest. The first is the repair of the stone wall surrounding the property. It has been improperly patched and needs complete repair. In tandem the footing on the 1913 addition must be deepened to ensure its stability and remove existing pressure on the stone wall.

From there, major work on the house can begin.

The home is for sale by owner, as-is/where-is. Owner financing is an option. When you view the house we kindly ask that you do not block the driveway belonging to our neighbors on the north.
