What's special

Great opportunity to get a home with major groundwork already started—an ideal opportunity for investors, renovators, or buyers looking to customize their next property. Renovations began and key upgrades have already been completed, including new plumbing and updated electrical, saving time and expense on two of the most important systems. The project was paused prior to completion, leaving a blank canvas for your vision and finishing touches. Bring your imagination to transform this property into a beautiful home or profitable investment. Great potential for added value with much of the heavy lifting already underway. Sold as-is.
