Huge price correction!! Incredible location! Country feel and privacy yet easy access to 90, 20, shopping and entertainment. Sprawling ranch with so much potential!! Mid century modern comes to life. The basement could be finished with an entire additional living space/ in law arrangement.So much charm in the enclosed porch looking over the lush back yard and backing to Tyler Creek. From our picture window in the eating are, you'll see deer, fox and an assortment of other amazing things nature has to offer. Both floors have fireplaces. There is a bar set up in the basement that is just waiting to be revived. Most of the windows have been replaced. There is so much potential in the sweat equity of a home with so much square footage.
