Hard-to-find ranch with a walkout basement with nearly 40 feet of Geist water frontage, and a private pool, all situated on nearly an acre. This 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath home offers a highly desirable layout with water access, a screened-in porch, and tremendous potential to create something truly special. The home is ready for updating and renovation, but offers a solid foundation for buyers looking to customize a Geist property to their own vision. With its combination of lot size, water frontage, pool, walkout basement, and ranch-style living, opportunities like this are increasingly difficult to find. Priced competitively with the needed improvements in mind, this property presents an exceptional value-add opportunity and the chance to transform it into a remarkable Geist home for an investor or someone who wants to call it home.
