Key Features: Original Historical Charm: Built in 1857, this carriage house features the original, non-leaking slate roof that remains bone-dry.

Extra Large Yard: After a fire in 2020, the house was razed, leaving behind a massive lot with potential for future development.
The large yard offers ample space for outdoor living, and the layout allows for creative possibilities, including adding a half-circle driveway, garden, deck, or even expanding the home itself.

Incredible Investment Potential: This property is priced for immediate sale at just $16,000, offering the potential for significant profit.
With the right design and renovations, this home could easily exceed $100,000 in value.
