How about that woodwork! But this sure needs a lot of work. Biggest thing would be to clear the house out. Clearly the plaster fell in a couple of rooms and the roof probably needs to be replaced. The house was built in 1890. It is located on .41 acre in North Adams, Massachusetts. The house features a vestibule, pocket doors, double front doors, etched glass, wainscoting, picture rails, wide baseboards, beautiful mantels and tall ceilings. Ten bedrooms, three bathrooms and 6,076 square feet. $67,000
