Tucked into a private, wooded 0.89 acre setting in rural Swisher, this one of a kind property offers the kind of space, quiet, and character that's almost impossible to find, all within the sought after College Community school district and just minutes from the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City corridor. Mature trees frame beautiful curb appeal, an oversized 624 sq ft detached garage and workshop gives you room to work and store, and a handy outbuilding adds even more flexibility. Enjoy the freedom of acreage living with the bonus of low taxes. This is a fixer upper. A conventional loan or construction loan would be required. No FHA, VA, USDA.
Inside, you'll find one large primary bedroom on the second level. Offered as is and priced to invite offers, this home is a wonderful opportunity for the buyer with vision. It isn't turnkey; it's ready for your personal touches and cosmetic TLC. Even better, the seller is handling the big ticket items for you. Per accepted terms, a brand new private septic system and professional foundation reinforcement (with a transferable lifetime warranty) will be completed prior to closing. Contractor quotes and warranty are on file for your peace of mind, so you can focus on the fun part of making it your own.
Bring your imagination and see the potential for yourself. Cash financing only.
This home is a fixer upper. Needs significant improvements. Contact listing agent for additional details. Buyers need to contact their lender to see what financing is available.
