What's special

Traditional two-story home

A strong opportunity for buyers or investors prepared to complete a substantial renovation, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom property offers the chance to restore and reimagine a traditional two-story home. The interior requires significant repair and updating, with an unfinished kitchen, visible ceiling damage, and deferred maintenance throughout. The existing layout provides a practical starting point for a full rehabilitation, allowing the next owner to create a home tailored to their plans and preferences. Buyers should complete all inspections and independently verify the property’s condition and specifications. Schedule a showing or request additional information to evaluate the opportunity firsthand.
