Stately brick home situated on a large 1/2 acre lot in desirable Ashborough East with an in-ground swimming pool --- all within the Dorchester District II School System! This home has tremendous potential but needs a fair amount of work - updating - and TLC! All large rooms including formal living and dining room - dedicated home office or library space complete with built in bookcases - large eat in kitchen - spacious family room with fireplace - and half bathroom all located on the lower level of the home. Upstairs you will find the master suite, three nice sized bedrooms with a shared bathroom, and a super oversized walk-in laundry room! This is certainly not your average cookie-cutter home --- however, due to condition we know that this home will need to be sold to a buyer securing a FHA 203K loan, or a cash buyer, or a possible conventional loan with a more lenient lender in terms of the mortgage company's overlays, etc --- the home's condition will not allow a traditional FHA or VA loan. PROCEED WITH CAUTION IN THE BACKYARD --- CAUTION BUYERS AND ANY CHILDREN ACCOMPANYING TO NOT GO NEAR THE POOL AREA --- THE POOL IS COMPLETELY GREEN AND OVERGROWN AND COULD BE HAZARDOUS. Please coach your buyers in regards to the short sale process and time lines. This is a one lien holder short sale (OCWEN) with no HOA liens or additional judgments / liens that we are aware of - we are having the attorney's office do a title search to ensure this information. This is ''AS IS'' SALE - the owner has no funds to offer for repairs, etc. Obvious wood rot - will not pass a CL-100 - possible termite damage suspected but not confirmed - water stains on ceilings are from past leaks before roof was replaced in 2007 - new pool liner but we are unsure if the pool pump system is operable as it has not been used in quite some time - possible moisture issues in the crawlspace suspected just on a visual inspection of certain areas of ''cupping'' on the wood floors.
