This very exciting piece of BRICK is truly one of the oldest homes in the area.

FRESH FACT

• This property was listed for $109,900 in 2010 and sold for $130,000. I recall being intrigued my the property 4 years ago and only wished I had made the investment back then. There's no doubt it will sell this time around, and fetch a nice profit despite the investment to renovate and restore.
