READ THE FULL LISTING DESCRIPTION: PICS ARE FROM 2 YEARS AGO
Fantastic opportunity for a beautiful home in a quiet area, right across from a neighborhood playground!
TLDR: These pictures are from our last remodel 2 years ago. Brand new everything. The tenant that lived there did a number on the place. The $85,000 price is for the home as it currently sits. We are starting the cleaning/fixing process, so the price will be go up as we complete remodel items. Once we're done the price will be $110,000.
The Good:
- Kitchen cabinets/counters/appliances are in great shape. All brand new install a couple years ago.
- Bathroom is in good shape. Full remodel 2 years ago, minor cosmetic fixes needed
- Hardwood floor throughout the main level. We overlaid it with LVP and carpet as opposed to refinishing (LVP has been removed)
- Huge garage
- Fenced in back yard
- Furnace and AC cleaned and tested in good working condition
- Current market rent is $1300+
The Bad:
- Tenant's unauthorized pets destroyed most of the carpet and LVP. We've removed all of it and are in the process of cleaning as well as running an ionizer to help clean the air. Hardwood floor could be refinished if new owner prefers that over carpet/lvp.
- A few of the vinyl windows no longer stay up on their own. No idea how the tenants managed that but those windows will need either fixed or replaced.
- The back yard was a jungle. We've cut it back and cleaned it up, but noticed it looks like groundhogs have taken up residence under the garage. We're in the process of rehoming those
- Some of the trim was chewed up and will need replaced
- Some minor wall patching and paint touch ups needed
BONUS: Home next door 2067 E. Lawrence:
Available for purchase with this home on a package deal for an additional $45K.
Priced by itself is $55K.
It's a 1 bedroom, 1 bath home with a great long term tenant currently paying over $600/m. Recent work done includes roof work, garage window, water dam on roof for chimney, and new back door/entry.
One living room wall and the chimney run in the kitchen (behind the LR wall) will eventually need patched/fixed from prior water damage (hence the chimney dam).
NOTE: The fence between these two houses is over the property line on the 2067 side (giving 2065 a larger yard space). If the houses are sold separately then the fence would need to be moved over onto 2065 side.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
