About This Home
As of September 2024This great country home, sitting on 1-acre with a detached 1-car garage, suffered a minor fire in the front corner of the home. The current owner/seller is a builder. He has gutted the home to the studs and started the renovation by adding additional square footage to the 2nd floor, new interior framing, new windows, and exposed cedar beams in the living and dining area. Public water is a plus in this country setting. This home is a blank canvas with unlimited potential. Let your imagination be the catalyst to bring this home back to life! The home can remain a single-family residence, but the potential exists for the home to be split into a lower apartment and upper apartment, each with a separate entrance. Investors and flippers, this would be a great addition to your portfolio. The seller is a talented builder with a creative eye for design. He possesses an extensive resume. He is offering, for an additional cost, after closing, a finish-to-suit option for the buyer. The cost, payment arrangement, and scope of the finish-to-suit will be negotiated independently between buyer and seller. Seller has substantial building supplies available for use with the finish-to-suit. Finish-to-suit option is not part of this listing. Home is not for rent. Interior photos coming soon. Buyer and buyer's agent to verify all information.
