That is a pretty pond! There is some nice acreage with this listing! The house definitely needs work, but I see some potential in there. The house was built in 1900. It is located on 9.3 acres in Jefferson, Ohio. The house features a large deck, wood floors, sunroom and baseboards. There is a large detached building on the property. Three bedrooms, one bathroom and 1,976 square feet. $140,000

Handman Special. Fixer Friendly. Fixer Upper. These words come to mind but WoW, what Potential lies here! Folks , you can turn this into a gorgeous home with a little bit of time, sweat and money. Gorgeous 9+ acres with a pond full of fish in Jefferson!! I would blow out the kitchen wall and add a 6’x4′ island with sink and dish washer in it, turn the first floor bedroom into 2 full baths and the living space into a large bedroom with ensuite and the current bathroom could be a 4th bedroom or a wonderful office space! With the huge mudroom I’d add full size stackable laundry with cabinetry and countertop for folding and hiding the basket and soap, and if y wanted to go for a 2-1/2 bath house, you could easily add the 1/2 bath there. Tons of space in the basement too. I’d clean and paint to brighten it up for storage and play area. The property itself could be used for just about anything you can think to do with 9+ acres! Horses, pigs, goats, dirt bike or BMX track, whatever your heart desires. Plenty of room for another building or 2 as well. This diamond in the rough is waiting to shine bright for you!!
