Property Description
Investor special with strong upside potential. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on a quiet, well-kept residential block and offers the kind of layout and structure that make renovation worthwhile. The property needs cosmetic updates and some deferred maintenance, but the fundamentals are solid - spacious room sizes, functional floor plan, and great bones throughout. Ideal for a value-add investor looking to renovate and resell or hold as a cash-flowing rental. With comparable renovated homes in the area supporting strong resale demand, this is an opportunity to step into equity with the right improvements. Property is being sold as-is. Bring your contractor and vision - the upside is there.
