Listing description

What the seller provided

LOT 5, BLOCK 54 OF ORIGINAL PLAT OF VILLAGE OF ONTONAGON. Older 1 1/2 story wood frame house in Ontonagon. Has a wood pier footing foundation that is giving-up-the-ghost and the entire house is settling. There is an old understanding about houses, and that is that if the foundation is bad, the rest probably isn't worth investing in. And this may be an example of that. There have been some windows replaced. Roof is older shingle and probably will need a refresh sooner than later. Inside there are maple floors that bob-and-weave like a sailor at port where they meet the outside walls because of the decay below. The rear attached garage has a "skylight" that aids in ventilation, but it's probably not helpful during rainstorms. So that probably needs to come down. To be brutally honest, this would make a great location for a garden for a neighbor. Even an optimist is going to think long and hard about this one. We did not see a tub or shower ... or any heat source. Crawlspace entry was nailed shut. We assume there was a space heater here that is no longer present as we did not see either forced air registers or radiators anywhere. Power service has been dropped by the service provider
