About This Home

As of May 2022

If you feel like there is hardly anything on the market for you these days, it might be time to consider buying a home that you can renovate and customize to your liking! **Ask your lender about 203K Financing.** Put as little as 3.5% towards your down payment to purchase this home and have the cost of renovations covered by the lender. Other comparable renovated homes in the area have sold for $675,000 - $715,000. The first step in getting 203K Financing is obtaining a Feasibility Study done by a HUD-Certified Inspector. The good news? We have a Feasibility Study / Inspection Report available upon request for your convenience, so you can start getting quotes from contractors ASAP and make the numbers work to your favor. This lovely home at 1261 Gallatin St NE is now on the market for the first time since the original owners first purchased this property in 1951. A home that is full of opportunity and potential, this property features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, handsome hardwood floors throughout, a well-functioning HVAC system, an updated roof, and solid bones. Now is the time to bring your vision to life and to thoughtfully curate this home with your personality and touch. **Kindly note that this Property is an estate sale and is strictly being sold AS-IS.**
