House in Ohio

Address: Marietta 45750

Approximate value $: 130,000

Completely renovated in 2006 (see below) and new Trane Furnace and Central Air in 2009.

Complete new roof (including complete removal of the old slate shingles and wood, and new sheeting), also complete new rubber roofs on the front and rear porches. All new insulated windows, including the attic and basement. New plaster (real plaster, not drywall) walls and ceilings throughout the house, and paint. Complete kitchen remodel with new cabinets, solid surface countertops, sink, stove, refrigerator, wiring, plumbing, floor. Both bathrooms completely remodeled with new wiring, plumbing, floor, all fixtures. New electrical and fuse box. 4 gas fireplaces, 3 of which were new in 2007. The 3rd floor was completely finished, with new insulation, wiring, walls, carpeting. Behind the house is a large concrete patio and there is no grass to maintain. The only lawncare needed is the small space in front of the house
between the sidewalk and the street (see pic). I also had a 6 foot wood privacy fence installed around the yard. The basement has a poured concrete floor and stays dry, and the house is NOT in a flood plain.

There is also a large 1 car garage that could use some work, but its functional and stays dry. Im sure I'm forgeting some things but this should give you an idea of the condition of the property.

The neighborhood is very nice. Next door is a sister house, meaning that when these properties were built, these 2 were built as mirror images of each other. Across the street is a nice victorian and there is also a large park about 1 block away.

As for the city - Marietta, Ohio is a historic town (known for being the 1st settlement of the northwest territory) and sits on the Ohio river on the border with West Virginia. Its a quiet, safe, and family oriented community. During the summer they have events in the downtown and focused around the river. There is also an annual sternwheeler festival which draws alot of tourists. Marietta college also provides a close opportunity for higher education. For big city activities, Columbus Ohio is a 2 hour drive.
