About This Home

As of July 2025

Spacious Two-Story Home on 1.18 Acres in Altoona. This is prime for an investor or somebody wanting a project home. This home is being sold AS-IS
This property offers over 2,000 square feet of living space and sits on a hard-to-find 1.18-acre lot, approved by the City of Altoona for additional building structure (see attached form in documents).

The exterior has newer vinyl siding, a newer roof, updated front-facing windows, and a bright 4-season breezeway connecting the home to the oversized yard, which has already been fully cleared and prepped.

Inside, you'll find four bedrooms on the upper level and one full bathroom. The home does need interior updates, making it a perfect opportunity to customize and build equity. Flooring/carpet will need to be added prior to closing in order to qualify for conventional financing, please factor that into your offer. Otherwise, cash or construction loans will be required.

Don't miss this chance to own a spacious home on a large lot in a prime Altoona location with room to grow and invest!
