Opportunity knocks in Elyria! 3 bed, 1.5 bath on a quarter-acre at 537 3rd St. 1,538 sq ft, one-car detached garage, big backyard backing to open fields. The house has modern vinyl windows and a newer furnace. Kitchen is mostly done; rest of the house needs work, and the price reflects that: $59,900. Good option for a buyer who wants to do some of the finishing themselves and build equity doing it. Selling as-is. Have a look!
