Historic Kauffold House (?) is back in black! This 3/4-completed masterpiece is a must-see for anyone with a vision. Lots of square footage waiting for you to add your own personal finishing touches. The rooms are large with high ceilings, and many have original hardwood floors in decent shape. The main floor features a primary bedroom and bathroom, laundry, kitchen, formal dining, office, powder room, and living room. Second floor: 2 true bedrooms, 3 pass-through rooms to be what you want, 1 full bath and 1/2 bath. The original home is probably older than tax records reflect, evidenced by the solid stone foundation. At some point in time, a large addition was constructed with a poured concrete foundation and high-ceilinged basement. It's nice and appears dry and of quality workmanship. The windows, most plumbing, and electrical service are modern. Huge 1.5+/- lot mostly fenced, with a two car detached garage, right in the heart of Pie Town. This is going to be someone's jewel. Not a drive by.
