Take a look at that library! That is pretty amazing! I remember this house because of that library! Looks like the seller updated bathrooms, kitchen, electrical and HVAC. Unfortunately, some of the flooring has been updated. But that library! The house was built in 1925. It is located on .51 acre in Roanoke, Virginia. The house features a covered front porch, nice staircase, some original wood flooring, baseboards, spacious kitchen, beautiful library and updated bathrooms. The interior could use some color, but at least it is a blank slate. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,304 square feet. $235,000
