My husband and I owned this property! We finally sold it in November 2015 after years of legal wrangling and dashed development plans that we could never pull off. I can tell you lots about this place! I understand the new owners, who told us they were going to develop the lot, bought the neighboring lot and are now trying to sell both parcels…..buyer beware!
Wow! How interesting! Did you ever live in the house?
No. It had been vacant for about 2 years when we bought it out of foreclosure. It had windows and doors when we bought it but vandals quickly broke in and required us to board it up. It has actually got a single wide mobile home melded onto the back to give it a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. We just ran into one obstacle after another until we finally threw in the towel. It wasn’t for lack of trying on our part. Sometimes you just can’t fight city hall.
