Auction will be held onsite located at 2356 & 2358 Secrest Rd, Wooster OH 44691.

Parcel 1: This is an incredible real estate opportunity in Wooster that, with some dedicated time, investment, and effort, has the potential to become one of the city's best-kept secrets. The property boasts a generous living space of over 3,500 square feet on the main and second floors, along with a fully accessible walkout basement that adds an additional 2,000 plus square feet, leading out to a picturesque pool area. This charming two-story brick home was originally constructed in 1993.

During the winter months, unfortunately, a pipe burst occurred while the property was vacant, causing water damage throughout the entire house. However, restoration crews have since intervened, diligently drying the property, removing drywall down to the studs, effectively gutting it to its structural core. The canvas is now blank, ready for your personal touch and creative vision. The home itself remains structurally sound, the moisture issue has been resolved, and there's ample space to accommodate your vision.

Situated on a sprawling 25-acre lot, the property features a delightful mix of open yard space, wooded areas, and fenced pasture land, complete with a well-maintained 4-stall horse barn and a shop. The barn, as per the auditor's records, measures 36'x84' and was constructed in 2009. It's fully equipped with electricity, water, and a concrete floor, ensuring it's in excellent condition and ready for use.

Adding to the property's appeal, it's conveniently located just a minute away from the town center. Furthermore, an owned gas well is included on the premises, supplying gas to all the dwellings on both parcels and generating income. The gas well will remain with parcel 1, along with the associated oil and gas rights. In the event that the two parcels are sold to different buyers, the buyer of parcel 2 will have a six-month window to negotiate a gas supply arrangement with the buyer of parcel 1 or explore alternative heating options for their home and garage.

Parcel 2: This charming single-story ranch-style residence offers 1,776 square feet of living space and has undergone recent renovations, creating an inviting atmosphere as soon as you step through the front door. This property consists of four bedrooms and 1.5 bathroom and has previously served as an income-generating asset. It's a sturdy and well-constructed dwelling situated on a spacious 1.5-acre lot, providing you with the flexibility to make it your permanent residence, rent it out, or reside in it while you renovate the main house.

In addition to the main house, there is a detached, oversized two-car garage/shop that adds versatility to the property, making it suitable for a variety of purposes. Although there isn't a basement, the home is equipped with central air conditioning for your comfort.

There is a shared driveway, and if the two parcels are sold separately, the existing agreement regarding driveway usage will remain unchanged. This means that the rear house retains an easement to utilize the driveway, just as the front house does, ensuring convenience for both properties.

Note: There is undoubtedly some restoration work required, but this property holds immense potential to be brought back to life. I encourage you to invest some time and explore this beautiful opportunity.
