Listing broker remarks

Investors take note of the potential offered by this charming colonial home. Property is being sold as-is. The seller prefers a 60-day closing to allow sufficient time for removal of personal items from the house, yard, and barn. Title V has failed and will be the buyer’s responsibility. The home features partially updated plumbing and electrical systems, including an electrical panel and hot water tank installed approximately three years ago.— Nexthome Elite Realty
