About This Home
Beautiful River Road in Preston is one of the most desirable street in town. Starting with the good stuff.. The home feature central air, 200 amp electric, thermophane windows and hardwood floors. The exterior feature a newer roof, vinyl siding and a yard with multiple shade trees. Now for the challenge.. The interior needs significant renovations in all areas. The septic system needs replacement. A considerable concession on price has been built in. This home is either a cash purchase or a renovation loan to bring it to its full potential and create instant equity. A great opportunity in a special location.
