Built in 1967, this cabin requires substantial interior rehabilitation to be move-in ready. While critical infrastructure like the foundation, heater, and water main have been recently addressed, the interior remains largely original and dated. The kitchen features 1960s-era cabinetry and appliances, the bathroom is outdated, and the living room flooring is currently in a state of disrepair with visible patches following the foundation work, necessitating a full cosmetic overhaul.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7971, living area = 1080.
