Commercial, or residential flexibility on 1.65 unrestricted acres in Downtown Slocum! Strategically positioned in Southern Anderson County, this highly adaptable property boasts 261 feet of road frontage, making it the ultimate canvas for a combined home and business setup, a standalone commercial venture, or a private homestead. The main structure features a versatile layout that seamlessly transitions between residential comfort and professional utility. The interior offers a large, open living room ideal as a family hub or a customer reception - showroom area, 2 spacious bedrooms or offices, and 1 full bathroom. A generous, separate utility room provides the perfect footprint to double as a dedicated home office or administrative workspace. Outside, the property is framed by gorgeous, large, mature trees that offer excellent shade and classic East Texas curb appeal. Exterior improvements include a 12x30 tin workshop or storage building perfect for inventory, equipment, or hobbies, alongside an older chicken coop. The site enjoys excellent community anchoring, situated directly beside the local fire department and within a short walk to Slocum ISD schools, ensuring consistent local visibility. Buyers can take advantage of tailored purchasing options designed to fit their specific vision. The seller is willing to complete ongoing repairs and final renovations, allowing the buyer to have collaborative input on final selections and finishes within reason to perfectly suit their living or business requirements. Alternatively, buyers can capitalize on a lower entry point by purchasing the property in its current as-is state, allowing them to manage touch-ups on their own timeline and budget. The owner is also open to considering splitting the 1.65-acre parcel to accommodate smaller footprint needs. If you are looking to launch a high-visibility business or establish an unrestricted homestead, this property dynamically adapts to your goals. Schedule your showing today!
