This one-of-a-kind gem near downtown Great Falls is a great flip/rental investment property, or an exciting first time purchase opportunity for someone looking to make it their very own. Built in 1946, this property has stood the test of time, and the current owner has called it "Home" for the last 19 years. It was appraised in 2020, right before it got an updated architectural shingled roof, new vinyl siding and new windows throughout. Even the wired out-building got a new roof, and the electric hot water heater was installed during that upgrade timeframe. The owner is selling As-Is and will make no repairs. However, they purchased a pre-listing home inspection so a potential buyer will know exactly what they are purchasing. Bring your creativity and penance for entrepreneurship, and advance this well-loved Folk Victorian Cottage home into the modern era!
