February 15, 2020

This fixer upper has some interesting original details, but goodness it needs a lot of work. This property is owned by the Syracuse Land Bank. That is similar to what Danville, Virginia is doing. They take over ownership of blighted properties and sell them to people that have a plan for restoration. How about the plaster detailing! This is currently set up as a two unit home. This home was built in 1890. It is located in Syracuse, New York. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,056 square feet. $1,000
