This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of history! This home is perfect for an investor who wants to finish the inside and bring this home back to life! Called the Honeymoon Cottage, this home was built by a Dayton brick layer for his daughter as a wedding present. He shows off his talents and skill with the unique style of the home and bricks used. Custom-made moon-shaped stained glass windows add even more character! This house has been taken down to the studs, brought to the point where it's ready for electricity to be connected inside and drywall installed. Pex plumbing system in place. Foundation was professionally repaired and most floor joists replaced. Incredibly unique to this age of home are the walk-in closets in the bedrooms upstairs. New roof with 4” foam insulation, 2020. New fence on 2 of the 4 sides of the yard. Basement professionally waterproofed.
