Listing description

What the seller provided

T17N R5W SEC 25 175 W ILLINOIS ST LOT 14 & W 1/2 OF LOT 15 EXC E 11 FT BLK 40. FARWELL, MICH. 75' x 120', ~0.21 acres. Fronts Illinois St to the N. Looks to be a two story that has received multiple additions. The upper floor could be described as an efficiency unit. This place is ROUGH and the FOUNDATION IS BAD. Looks to have received no or poor maintenance throughout the better part of its life. It appears somebody may have been remodeling the place prior to foreclosure. It's probably gonna need much much more. In particular, the attached garage in the rear appears to be in the process of collapsing. It's assumed this is also the basement access (nothing else could be found inside)... wouldn't recommend walking through. Floors all throughout the structure are pitching... might be fun to see where a marble goes. The floor is generally sinking into the middle in the original structure. Floors just seem cupped in most rooms in general. Uncertain if the multi occupant use was even up to code, but that's a question for the local government. Siding is worn and often missing/damaged, going direct to planks behind. There might even be some 'structural foam'. There's so many things that just don't seem right here that it's pretty daunting to list. It seems like any wall cavity that gets opened would be its own can of worms. Multiple types of roof, generally shingled and membrane. Wouldn't trust any of it. It would appear this place has municipal water/sewer, so that might be a bright spot. Interested bidders should contact the local branch of government regarding possible development, camping, or other use restrictions. E.g. Minimum Sq. footage requirement, utilities, etc. PLEASE NOTE: The local building inspector has indicated that the building department has not ever received any permit applications for the renovations at this property and feels that the foundation is not safe and may not be repairable.
