Built in the mid 1800’s, this stately historic home features 10-foot smooth ceilings & spacious rooms throughout the house! Priced at under $32 a square foot, the home is being sold “as is”, and the price leaves plenty of room in the budget for upgrades & improvements! The large lot is L-shaped and has over 90 feet of frontage on East McLaurin Street, too. Appliances include a washer, dryer, and freezer. There’s one large central HVAC unit for the downstairs, and it was replaced in 2016.
