There is a drainage line that was installed in the catch basin on the southeast corner of the property that is ready for a French drain, which would resolve the standing water to the south of the garage and along the north property line of the house. The house and crawl are bone dry. Welcome home to a neighborhood that you have dreamed of with block parties, annual holiday luminaria, Easter egg hunt, soap box derby and more. Sold AS IS.
