Overview

Unlock the Potential: A True Fixer Upper in a Fantastic Neighborhood. This one?s not for the faint of heart. It needs work ? a lot of it. But for the right buyer, this 2-bed, 1.5-bath home in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood is a golden opportunity. The home has been vacant and shows it. The rear addition needs major foundation work, as heavy block walls caused the structure to crest in the middle. Inside, most rooms need a full cosmetic overhaul, but the kitchen has potential with solid bones and layout. Sadly, only one full bath ? a missed chance during the last remodel ? but plenty of space to add another. The flooring needs replacing, walls need patching, and systems should be evaluated. That said, central HVAC is in place. Outside, you'll find a fenced backyard and one-car garage. The real win? The location. Quiet, established neighborhood, strong community vibe, and rising property values. This home is priced well below ARV?a true project with profit potential. True, it?s ugly. It needs work. But it?s not just a tear-down. Bring your tools, vision, and grit?this could be the transformation you?ve been waiting for. Let?s not sugarcoat it ? this home is a project. But that?s also what makes it so appealing. With the right improvements, this property could be flipped for a solid return. Whether you're a seasoned investor or someone who's simply looking for a place to make entirely your own, the numbers here make sense. The home is priced significantly below market value for the area, reflecting its current condition. But that's also your entry point. With good planning, skilled contractors, and a clear vision, you could unlock a significant amount of equity and create a home that truly stands out.
