My Favorite of the two, 49 Maplewood Avenue! This property has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and is approx 4,000 SF.  This property is being sold in "AS IS" condition and is a TRAIN WRECK!!  BUT – I love it and with a lot of love could be the most fabulous house in Akron.  The description: Property to be sold as is. This is a FNMA Homepath property. Purchase this property for as little as 3% down. This property is approved for special financing, call list agent for details. Sellers choice of title. Earnest money to be deposited with listing office. Cash buyers need verification of funds with offer and earnest money 10% of sale price. Conventional buyers need letter of approval with offer, minimum earnest $1000. Investors: see attached deed restrictions. During the first 15 days of listing, only offers from owner occupants or public entities (& their designated partners) will be considered. After 15 days, investor offers will be considered. Buyers or buyers agent responsible to check with building, zoning, EPA, DEA, tax dept or any other requirement for intended use. The description fails to mention the house's perks.  It has the most incredible library I have ever seen in a house.  There are amazing built-in cabinets and there are strange and erie features that just make the house completely irresistible!!  For the full listing details click here.

BOTH of these houses are AMAZING.  They are fabulous but with fabulous almost always comes a heavy price tag.  These both need tons o work!  So – if you have a spare couple hundred thousand laying around, these are the houses for you!!!
