About This Home

As of June 2025

Situated on 2 acres of land, this one-bedroom home offers a unique opportunity for the savvy buyer. Featuring an oversized garage, a charming pergola enveloped by wisteria, and a fenced yard, this property is ideal for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. Additionally, the property boasts ample space for RV storage, complete with an RV electrical outlet outside the garage, as well as room for boat or vehicle storage. With potential for renovation or redevelopment, this property offers endless possibilities, whether it be salvaging the current structure, utilizing the spacious garage, or exploring alternative housing options, subject to approval from the city of Benld. The home, sold AS IS, presents potential for renovation or redevelopment, with a mine subsidence claim that has been closed and no repairs made. The kitchen has a roof leak causing ceiling tile damage, and the basement shows cracking from the subsidence.
