UPDATE: Septic System was tested by an engineer and found to be 'functioning as designed and constructed.' Engineer's letter available upon request. Offers welcome! This was a nice home on July 9th, before a history-making flash flood caused the sudden breach of a massive beaver dam at Shaw Pond, releasing more than 100 million Gallons of water, damaging roads, bridges, and this house. The water was as high as the living room windows, but you saw the pictures. Since then, Long Lakers have pulled together, as they always do, and helped each other and this seller, well known in her own right as a friend to many. While the seller lost much, as the house was not insured, it was not destroyed outright, and there remains a good opportunity for a new owner to turn it back into a home. The house, as it was, had four bedrooms, two full baths, a dining room, a den, a living room, and a laundry in the full basement. Outside, there's an insulated 2-car garage, a lean-to with a fireplace, and a garden shed. It's all being sold as-is, of course. There's been work done already: Outside, the DOT significantly upgraded the drainage, removed truckloads of mud, regraded and seeded the front lawn, and installed a partial asphalt driveway. Inside, the house was gutted on the main floor up to the ceiling to allow it to dry. (The upstairs was unharmed.) The basement will receive a full water management remodel in October by a prominent regional basement company at the seller's expense. There's already a new electrical service, panel, and sub-panel. There is a lot more to do, but it will be worth it. Come build and live in a town where people still help each other.
