This is a unique and rare house that will require some work to bring it back to its glory days. Being zoned R2 gives the new owner several options to bring this home back to life. When you consider the parking issues in Auburn, the fact this house has 2 driveways makes that a non-issue. You have to look beyond the obvious to see the true potential this house contains. Owner is very motivated to sell, any offer will be given serious consideration.
