About this House

Being sold as an Estate Sale/Property AS iS!! This charming 2 bedroom, one bath home is perhaps what you've been looking for as a primary resident or as a weekend get-away. The over-sized garage is perfect for any auto enthusiast and someone who would love a workshop. Situated on a quiet tree-lined street, this house has such potential with a bit of TLC. From the front porch, one can see the lake views of Griswold Lake a block away. A large kitchen and a separate living room and dining room allows for a lot of living space. Outside is an ample yard, just waiting for your lounge chairs and fire pit! Since this is an estate sale, many of the items can be left in the house and garage, if you desire! (Who doesn't want a mounted buck's head looking down upon you while you tinker at your work bench?) Come see before it is gone! (Lake rights included with HOA fee.)
