Property Description
Buyer's financing fell through! No fault of the home, no inspections completed. Fresh potential on a flat lot in downtown Newland! Loads of possibilities, on city water and sewer with a metal roof. 751 square feet of unheated space is not included in the listing per MLS rules. To provide a solid starting point for your project, the upstairs has been gutted and any purchased insulation and 2 windows can convey if desired. Per seller, a new electrical panel was installed by an electrician, but permits were not filed or completed. With extra square footage, nice flat lot, and town utilities, this property could be your diamond in the rough!
