Structural concerns have also been observed and should be independently evaluated by qualified professionals. Due to the volume of contents and current condition, many aspects of the property, including building systems and overall structural condition, remain unknown. Square footage information has not been independently verified due to the current condition of the property and limited available municipal records. Buyers are strongly encouraged to independently verify square footage and all property information and to perform their own due diligence and inspections to the extent possible. All personal property, debris, and materials located inside the home, basement, garage, and throughout the exterior of the property will remain and convey with the sale. Seller will not be completing repairs, cleanout, or removal prior to closing. A unique opportunity for an experienced investor, contractor, or buyer prepared for a full-scale rehabilitation and cleanout project.
