One of a kind 1930's built Tudor style 1.5 story on gorgeous in town acreage setting, with nearly 1.5 acres! Not your typical property- lots of unique features throughout including a two story entry, oak floors and solid oak doors, breakfast nook, sun porch, very spacious rooms, possibility for master bedroom on main or upper level, newer three car detached garage, 2 fireplaces & more! Very nice in ground pool with stainless liner (believed to possibly be the deepest privately owned pool in the area, per owner), updated mechanicals and shingles. This home has amazing potential, but does have deferred maintenance and will need TLC- being sold "as-is".
