Description

Attention investors and DIY enthusiasts! This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, one-story fixer-upper is a fantastic opportunity with loads of potential. Built with stucco over concrete block, the home offers a sturdy foundation, and with a bit of vision, it could be transformed into something incredible. The updated kitchen, featuring attractive granite countertops, is already a highlight, while the cozy wood-burning fireplace adds character and charm to the living space. Sure, there are some projects to tackle—like a roof with a few leaks (but it’s a metal roof, replaced in 2014), and the pool currently resembles more of a pond than an oasis—but with some effort, it could be your backyard paradise! Plus, the 3-ton HVAC system was updated in 2019, so you’ll stay cool while you work on the rest. Whether you’re flipping for profit or seeking a rewarding project to call home, this house is bursting with potential. Ready to dive in and make it shine? Let’s get started! **Multiple Offers~ All offers due by Monday 1/21 at noon**
