Ready for #investmentpotential? Bring your thinking cap & Pinterest account because the possibilities on this one are endless. Yet, it’s not for the faint of heart. Quick truth bomb- we’ve got the good, the bad & the ugly. Let’s start with the “good”: The property is now fully bank owned & that bank wants it sold! The bad: Currently, the two sides of the home are like chalk & cheese. They just don’t match in condition. The ugly: The floors in the original structure have apparently fallen prey to some unholy floor goblins. They need work …or a seance. We have estimates for both. ;) The original structure is 3 bedrooms, 1 bath + living room, dining room & an expanded footprint kitchen. It has an adorable cottage feel & cozy scale. Despite the repairs needed it’s absolutely charming. The quagmire presents at the transition of the old joining the new. 2008/9 brought the addition of the large den, half bath, mudroom, laundry room, huge second-story en-suite with separate study & double carport which *may* have premiered on “Million Dollar Listing”. It’s that grand. It’s FABULOUS! And it’s waiting for it’s sidekick to step up & perform. The needed elements of “forever dream home” are in this line-up! Fantastic location, beautiful large lot with mature Live Oaks, insanely attractive curb appeal & square footage for days. The tangible improvements already present are the spilt floor plan, a 5-Star gas range, a panel ready dishwasher, 3 HVAC units, multiple sets of french-doors leading to the porch & potential-rich back yard. The “new side” also has a large fireplace surrounded by custom built-ins, 10’ ceilings, a cozy reading nook, wood & brick floors, Baldwin hardware & it’s wired surround sound. This semi-polished gem is unique for Southdowns but is absolutely ready to be the star of the street. Families, Flippers & Fearless DIYer’s all welcome. We can’t wait to see this one shine!
