About this home

3111 Leipsic Road, a private wooded retreat with rare character, craftsmanship, and extraordinary potential. This property needs total renovation and systems replacement due to significant water damage from a pipe break in the attic, with the basement experiencing the most impact.

The lower level offers additional possibilities, with existing features that include a kitchenette, full bathroom, laundry room, enclosed porch with a fireplace, hot tub, dedicated shower stall, and direct access to the attached two-car garage.
