Property details

About 218 Madison St

Four equal 51' x 145' lots in town that total approximately 0.68 acres. This could be a great place to build your new home and have a nice sized yard, right in town! Located not just a couple of blocks from the Benton town square! All people viewing the property must sign a "Hold Harmless" document due to there being an uninhabitable home currently on one of the lots. This home could be demolished with some items being salvageable (windows, doors, etc) and a new one put up in its place. Title search has already been performed and is ready to go, so closing could be very quick!
