OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 1:30pm to 2:30pm. Only five years old, but this home has been a rental, so it will need someone willing to put in a little work to make it truly special. Once that work is done, you should have a solid amount of equity.

With the items below, you’ll see that with just a bit of research, many of these improvements can be done yourself (if you’d like). Or, have a team that can take care of everything for you. Priced well below market value, and with the needed repairs being a fraction of that discount — this a great option for someone looking for a deal.

Here’s what I see that it needs:
• Paint, inside and out
• New interior doors (they’re the typical hollow-core type and have been used hard as a rental)
• I’d personally replace the bathroom vanities — you can find affordable options that include the countertop and faucet
• Some grout work in the living room
• Toilet lids could be replaced
• There’s some orange staining in the tubs — likely from iron in the water. Possibly getting an iron filter or contacting a water filtration company for a recommendation. Renting a system may run about $40/month.
• It looks like the washer leaked near the wall drain at one point — there’s a small area with drywall mold, but it’s limited. Just cut it out, treat it, and patch it back up.

Now back to the home itself — it’s the perfect setup:
• 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths
• Split floor plan for added privacy
• Spacious primary bedroom with attached ensuite
• Situated on a 150’ deep lot offering plenty of outdoor space — no rear or front neighbors!
• Across the street is a large sand hill, which is actually pretty cool
• I’ve spoken with some neighbors and the previous tenant — they all mentioned how quiet the street is, with very little car traffic. It’s ideal for dog walking and biking.
• Close to the Istokpoga Boat Ramp for fishing and water activities. The ramp is well-maintained and located in a beautiful park. The lake itself is massive — over 43,000 acres — and known for some of the best bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish fishing in Florida.

Another perk of Highlands Park Estates (the neighborhood):
• No HOA
• No restrictions on keeping an RV/boat, planting what you like, or choosing your home’s exterior color.
• Outside of general county guidelines, you have the freedom to make this property your own.
